Tax Day

Wouldn't it be nice if today were like any other day instead of the heavy reminder of the burden our government has become? The U.S. government is so bloated right now, it's too much to carry. That's why the Tea Party movement is mushrooming. I've never been to a Tea Party, but I sympathize. I read in the news about the Tea Parties being called "anti-government" protesters. There may be some anarchists on the fringe of the movement, but I think a far more accurate description of the Tea Party is "anti-BIG-government" - the kind that controls the people instead of the people controlling their government. The President and Congress are totally out of control and irresponsible right now. They have no regard for the Constitution, the wishes of the American people, and seemingly no great concern for America's standing in the world except that we become subservient. They've already spent our taxes (and our kids and grand kids taxes) and are now making the money we have left less valuable by printing what they want to spend. If any private business ran their affairs like our government is running, it would be out of business and its CEO would probably be in prison. Our President is not too big to fail. He doesn't deserve to be bailed out by the American people. His agenda needs to fail or our country will. I am a tax-paying, U.S. citizen. This country belongs to the people, not the liberal elites who think they are above the law and know better than the Constitution.
