Tax Day!

So, with only two and a half weeks until school ends - and another week until I graduate, tax day arrives. On this joyous day, folks from coast to coast are gathering to protest the grotesque size to which the US government has grown. There was TARP and the Stimulus, and now there's the new healthcare reform and talk of adding a VAT on top of the already existing taxes. Plenty to be mad about.

What I thought was interesting is that when I visited the Cincinnati Tea Party site, I noticed at the bottom they are also partnering with Our Community Bread, an organization in Over-the-Rhine aimed at helping the poor in the Cincinnati area. I just wanted to say: I like this. The Tea Party folks truly are focused on what is important: keeping the government (especially the federal government) small and out of the way, so the local community - not necessarily the government - can focus on the important local problems in their own way.
