Tax Tea Party Inspiring Action

Throngs of people gathered for the Tax Tea Party at the Jacksonville Landing in Jacksonville, Fla.

Jacksonville Tax Tea Party

Between 2,000-3,000 people held up signs saying “I am not an ATM,” “We can’t borrow and spend our way to prosperity,” and “Obama: You’re Quite Taxing.” It was quite a crowd for a middle of the day protest. Not many working stiffs can take off during the middle of the day to attend a protest from 12:00pm-1:00pm. Some came for just half the time to protest the huge government spending spree that seems to be unending. As a few people left midway through, other people showed up to balance things out. Nationwide, reports of 800 similar tax tea parties were taking place on tax day, all across America.

From military veterans to firemen, so-called white collar and blue collar, to small business owners, retired people, mothers and their children, a huge sampling of the American people was in attendance. It seemed all came away, inspired to get more involved in making America great again, getting it back on track to being a republic which represents its people. Many talked about what the next step would be, for one local tax tea party would not be the end of the protest. Perhaps another protest?

A friend murmured in a pause between speeches, “I came out to protest the endless government spending — I know one person could not make a difference, but together, many people can.”

God bless America. Together — yes we can — we can make a difference!
