“You say you wanna revolution? Put the guns away- we’re loading up on hotdogs and wealthy quacktorpractors!”
“If they ignore us this time, they’re gonna see a REVOLUTION by next year, I feel,†Unruh said.
I guess the fine doctor(?) has become a radical pro-choice or gay marriage activist.
It’s a protest of historic proportions and meant to send a strong message to the President, Senators and Representatives. Organizers hope Tea Parties on Tax Day will raise awareness about excessive government spending.
Yes, because nothing is more revolutionary then rich people protesting and eating hot dogs. FIRE THE CANNONS and FIRE UP THE GRILL!
“We need tax relief. We don’t want higher taxes, we cannot punish the people who create 98 percent of the jobs,†Allen Unruh said.
Like them poor abstinence educators? I’ll give Allen credit for this statement, at least he is being honest about being against taxing the rich. Which I still find hilarious. 90% of Americans have gotten a tax cut, the government is FINALLY spending taxdollars domestically, the Iraq War (hopefully) will be over in 2010, and Obama plans to cut the deficit in half in 5 years by increasing taxes on the weathly (the best and most effective way).
And that’s really what they are protesting. So you would think this tax increase is enormous by how radical they are acting. Yeah it is pretty shocking. The tax rate is going to go from 35% to 39%. Yup, a whopping 4%! Whoa Nellie! The country will crumble.
The neocons are not fooling anyone. This is an anti-Obama, anti-Democrat rally. Plain and simple.
I’ll be waiting for the revolution . . . in my lawn chair.
whoa – whoa – what you said is not totally correct. You said “The tax rate is going to go from 35% to 39%” and that is partially true.
But it would be more accurate to say that the MARGINAL rate will increase by 4%. That is: ONLY money ABOVE $250,000 will be taxed at 39%.
That’s what the whackos don’t understand: the rich get taxed at the same rate as the rest of us – up to $250k. And THEN, ONLY the money ABOVE $250K will be taxed at 39%.
And don’t forget: under Saint Ronnie Raygun it was 50%
Like I said, I’d love to see some hippy protestors go and protest their tax dollars being spent by the trillions on wars.
And the tax increase isn’t a straight 4%, it’s 4% of every dollar earned over a certain amount ($250,000?). This won’t have any more effect on people earning that kind of money than the .008 increase in the local sales tax.
I would love to have to pay more in taxes if it meant I was making that much money. It’s a great f*cking problem to have.
That’s what the whackos don’t understand: the rich get taxed at the same rate as the rest of us
Oh they know – at least the ones who are actually making that much. They’re just counting on the knee-jerk reactions from everyone else who hates taxes.
Create some fake virginity non-profit clinic, and presto, you are rich.
“They’re just counting on the knee-jerk reactions from everyone else who hates taxes.”
Right after 9/11 that may have worked, but think after the past 8 years of the Dick and George show, people have wised up. Not to mention they have been taking more home in their paychecks over the past month. I would love to go out and see the charade, but I have a feeling if I turn on KSFY tonight I will get the full Monty.
Does Unruh realize his wife is paid a few hundred grand a year which flows directly from federal dollars?
I guess we can cut spending… I suggest we cancel all funding for abstinence only education programs. Second on the list should be Medicare or VA funds used to pay quack doctors with scientifically unproven treatments… like Chiropractors for instance.
I guess Unruh has never heard the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.
I guess I don’t have a problem with protesting the government for excessive spending… that part I get. What I DON’T understand is where these morons have been the past eight years while our national debt has DOUBLED.
You said it best – this is nothing more than an anti-Obama and anti-Democrat rally. They are fooling nobody.

Well, they’ve proven totally ineffective – certainly less so than the condoms they claim don’t work…
Condoms don’t work when you don’t know how to put them on.
No kidding. Back in high school biology class, the school nurse showed us how to properly use a condom.
I still remember my first time – I had to go out and buy a banana to put the condom on, then realized the banana was too big for the condom I had, so I had to go out and buy a magnum. You should try to keep an erection through two trips to wal-mart – it’s difficult!
Anyway, I finally got back to my place where my girl was waiting, put the condom on the banana, set it on my desk, and we got busy. Low and behold, it still didn’t work – and after all that hassle! I haven’t used one since.
Magnum. Oh but to dream.
