Tea party

This tax season will come as a relief to some and a major change for others. Obama's new tax policies will increase taxes for the wealthiest american households, while lowering taxes for middle-class families in an effort to spark an economic recovery....so why the tea party?? Ultimately, it is based around the same concepts of the initial tea party in 1773, where tax payers were fed up with taxes they had fought hard to avoid. Now, I do agree the American economy is in need of some upward movement, but it is not the job of the wealthy to pay for it. That would be like punishing the smart kid for getting A's. America was based around the belief that the hard working individual could work his way to greatness, not working so others don't have to. There are many other economic policies that can help this economy, such as a corporate tax elimination or just simply getting more people to work harder..? While the tax may not exactly be on tea, the concept of wealth without unfair taxation is worth protesting.
