Tax Day Tea Party

On April 15, 2009, tax day across America, some Americans are protesting excessive taxes by having a tea party. This is much like the Boston tea party which was on December 16, 1773, when colonists boarded a British ship of taxed tea and destroyed the tea by throwing it into the Boston Harbor. On this occasion TEA represents Taxed Enough Already. Some people who believe the government is overspending and overtaxing, are thereby protesting in different ways by having their own tea party.
