My personal pics from the Rochester Tax Day Tea Party.

April 15th, 2009 · 7 Comments

I’m no photographer, so excuse my shots… but I keep laughing at the thought that there were only “200″ or so people there according to the D&C, especially since my pics didn’t capture everyone.

    So long as the government has the power to create fiat currency through the Federal Reserve it matters not what the particular level of taxes may be. There could be a 0% tax rate and the government would still print all the money it needs – with us common people experiencing the pain through and ‘inflation tax’. Please look into the writings of Rothbard and Mises on this topic.

    Also the fastest way to slash the budget would be to reduce the massive military budget. Does it make any sense that we now spend over $1,000,000 per year on the military? We are all slaves to the military industrial complex at this point.

    Finally, the conservatives risk looking hypocritical and 8 years behind the curve when they talk about excessive executive power and too much spending. Bush tripled the size of government and vastly expanded his own powers. It’s continuing under Obama, not starting. Come to terms with Bush’s legacy, embrace non-interventionism and join the rest of the Patriots that have been fighting against tyranny for years now.

    Oops, sorry for the typo there. Supposed to be a billion, not a million!

    Anyway, great pics. It really was a great turnout wasn’t it.

    That’s a lot more than 200 people! D&C needs to learn to count. Has anyone heard from the RPD on the “official” count?

    Andrew S. runs a nutcase website that promotes 911 conspiracy nuttiness and the other dumbass theories of Alex Jones.

    Interesting to see how the conservative movement is blending in with nutcase conspiracy theorists.
