Indiana Tea Party Tax Revolt! Sunday, March 1st, 2008 at 1 p.m. CST. Lake County Government Center.
Bring your tax assessments or a facsimile to put in the giant tea bag to be dunked in the pond.
A national and local media event. Bring your protest signs.
Team Hammond writes about scare tactics being used to convince taxpayers higher taxes are the only solution:
Our local elected officials must be working overtime trying to convince the citizens that property tax reform is bad for us. They would have you believe with their scare tactics that we will have no fire or police protection, and people will die! Let’s put a guilt trip on the homeowners for wanting to keep their homes!

Cap All Gov’t Spending Now!

Bloomberg columnist Kevin Hassett says now is the time to tame the beast and cap all government spending before our government porks out so much it ends up crushing us with its uncontrolled budget obesity.
This is important to bear in mind as we move forward to the general election. We don’t have a deficit because of Iraq, or the tax cuts, or the drug benefit. We have a deficit because the government grew fat. We can’t fix that with tax increases. Uncle Sam must go on a diet.
A simple way to start would be this: Whoever is elected president this November should pledge that he or she won’t spend $1 more than we currently plan to. If Bush had done that seven years ago, we would be in a different world.
Anyone listening in Lake County?
