Tea, anyone?

Various conservative wind-bags are trumpeting a series of "tea parties" to be held on Wednesday, April 15, otherwise known as tax day. The idea is to claim imagery from the original Boston Tea Party as a way of protesting that taxes are too high. There's just one problem with their plan. For the first time since 1961 there are more Americans who don’t think their taxes are too high than there are who do. That comes from a new Gallup poll which found that 48% of us think taxes are about right, 3% think they are too low, and only 46% who think they are too high (in 1961 the too high and about right scores were about equal with the too low score putting the "not too high" opinion over the top). You can follow the link to a graph. Another indication of how far out of touch the GOP is.
