I'm actually considering going to one of these. I've never been one to care enough about any political issue enough to be one of those assholes protesting. But for the past 8 years our government has had some out of control spending and its not getting any better. I'm very concerned about the long term effects that this massive debt is going to have.

I agree... I wasn't much interested in politics until I heard Ron Paul speak about freedom that once was and what it has become...
I'm thinking about going to one near here...

Haha MSNBC can be almost as entertaining as Fox News. Unfortunately this has turned into a "Republican" protest, which is not at all what it started as. I'm not going because I'm opposed to the higher taxes (inevitable as they are, though in a disguised form - e.g. cap and trade for greenhouse gases). I'm going because I'm opposed to American tax dollars being used to bail out private industry. Last time I checked thats not how capitalism works.
Also note the second womans name in that clip. How did they miss an opportunity to make a statement such as: "Let's see what Cox has to say about teabagging."

Unbelievable that people would call themselves teabaggers. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
PS: Great to see wealthy white people protesting for once. We should increase taxes more often.
PPS: http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-cooper15-2009apr15,0,3158535.story Bruce Bartlett, who has a long anti-tax history, says: "The irony of these protests is that federal revenues as a share of the gross domestic product will be lower this year than any year since 1950. ... The truth is that the U.S. is a relatively low-tax country no matter how you slice the data."
