Tea Parties

I've been meaning to write about the Tea Parties from Wednesday, April 15th; an apropos date to protest taxes. I would have loved to go but I was busy earning money to pay my taxes as well as other things such as mortgage, car payments and food. The absolute partisanship of both sides of the supposed press makes me nuts. I really do believe Fox went over the line from reporting on the tea parties to promoting them; but to give them credit, I think they were doing that to get ratings and it worked. The other major news outlets barely covered them or outright lied about the events, claiming hardly anyone showed up or that the tea parties were the brain child of the Repubclican Party and Fox News. The tea parties were about more than just taxes but rather what our government does with those taxes whether we agree or not. I don't believe we should bail out one company just because they are large but let every other smaller business fail. There should be no favoritism. And quite frankly, if I fail it is on me; why are others not allowed to fail?
