FairTax "Save the Nation" Rally
These rallies have taken on the name Tea Parties. No, this isn't something where the Queen of England would pour, or perhaps in the case of HRH Queen Elizabeth, have poured for her.
You might remember from history class that on December 13, 1773, Boston patriots exhibited their "displeasure" with the English Parliment taxing their subjects in the Colonies, now known, of course as the United States of America. The Patriots felt that these taxes violated their constitutional rights to be taxed only by their own elected officials. It wasn't just tea that was being taxed, but tea was available in ships docked in Boston Harbor, and so it was boxes and crates of tea that ended up flavoring the waters that night.
The main difference is that today, our own elected officials are the ones taxing us out the wazoo. Then taking our taxes and using it in whatever way they feel appropriate and not necessarily how the wage earners it was taken from would approve of using it.
Today, tea parties are being hosted across the United States. Citizens feel that Washington is out of control and want to remind Congress and, yes, the White House, that we thing you're doing a crappy, to say the least job, and we want to take our country, and our tax dollars back.
