Tax Day

It's April 15th - have you filed your taxes?

Taxes are due today if you did know. The government continues to demand more and more of money to feed their unending appetite to expand government programs.

All across America today, we saw citizens voice their opinion about the politicians in Washington through "tea parties". People are fed up with wasteful spending and handouts our government giving away. As a result, we are on a path of monumental debt levels and people are upset.

Personally, I attended the "tea party" in downtown Fort Lauderdale. There were probably a thousand or more people (and not one person from ACORN or MoveOn from what I saw).

Everyone was civilized, friendly, but definitely upset with our government. I have to admit that there were some pretty creative signs as well. The liberal mass media is painting a different picture or disparaging it such as MSNBC and CNN did today.

Politicians need to take notice. It is not a Democrat or republican thing. People are genuinely upset about where the government is headed. I am too the point to where I will campaign against both of the Congressional incumbents in my district.

President Obama commented on tax day. He recognized that the tax code is far too complicated and he vows to setup a committee to look into it. He also commented that people need to keep more of their income. So far his actions in his first 100+ days show no such signs.

Across the country we are seeing all forms of government (federal, state, and local) raise taxes to cover their massive spending programs they started during the height of the economic boom.

Speak up against continued spending and expansion. We cannot allow this to continue.
