8 miles of truckers

Right now, as we post, there is an 8 mile long line of truckers in Washington DC, protesting the price of fuel. I wonder if it will make a difference? Somehow, I doubt it. Do y'all think the price of fuel will be this generation's version of the Boston Tea Party?

my friend if that were going to happen it should have happened a long time ago, we fought a war to establish this country over a half cent per pound tea tax, doesnt sound like much, the average person pays over 40 percent of earnings in taxes, some of us more, good night enough is enough and the dems promise to raise them higher, yeah that will help, not, lol,dt

The American people don't mind paying taxes if they feel they're seeing results. For example, I don't mind paying taxes to sustain a police or fire department. I don't mind paying taxes to support the maintenance of roads and highways. It's about results. The founders waged a war over taxes that did little but bring windfall profits to the British Empire, the benefits of which they would never see.

The Democrats aren't planning on raising my taxes...I'm middle class and already pay MORE than my fair share.

The first thing on their agenda is repealing the tax cuts Bush put into effect, which would make it the largest tax hike in US history.

Wouldn't effect my taxes. Technically it wouldn't be a tax hike...it would be returning to the previous tax level where they paid their fair share. You and I are paying a greater percentage of our income than they are.

Obama wants to double income taxes.

How do you think they would fund their socialized hospitalization they are wanting?
