We aren't protesting taxes used for building streets. That is a legitimate function of government. Anyone can see that. Except you.

Whoa, that kind of sounded elitist. I though only Obama and those snotty East Coast liberals used that kind of tone. But seriously, what was the point of the protest? I attended the event (sorry, 'rally' doesn't count when your sponsored by the MSM) and it seemed like every part of the crowd was pitching their own agenda.
The MSM sponsored it? Fox News Channel was there, that doesn't meant they "sponsored" it, it means they latched on about a week before it happened. The point was to protest excessive taxes and excessive spending.
