The Boston Tea Party was a protest. Please tell me what you think the points of protest can be that we can agree on for TeaParty07.

"America is in danger of collapsing under its own weight by having a military presence in over 130 countries at a cost of hundreds of billion of dollars."
"America wants their rights of privacy and justice restored to the point they were at shortly after the Boston Tea Party."
"The federal tax code with its 44,000 pages, 5.5 million words, and 721 different forms is a patchwork maze of complexity and a testament to confusion over common sense."
U.S. Representative Jim DeMint (R-SC)
"End inflation! It benefits only wealthy companies, and is unconstitutional. Inflation is a hidden and regressive tax (affecting the poor and the middle class the most)"
"The hidden Social Security tax that the government forces your employer to hide from you is wrong."
"The hidden Medicare tax that the government forces employers to hide from you is wrong."
"Just like British soldiers were not welcome in America at the time of the Boston Tea Party, American soldiers are not welcome in the 130 different countries they occupy at cost of hundreds of billions each year."
"Stop oppressive income tax on the the poor and middle class."
"End government run lotteries. Should the government take $1 from the poor and middle class and hand back 50 cents? No, its wrong!"

Also, I think that on Dec 16 we can each write a letter to the company we work for, asking them at the end of each year to show them the hidden Social Security tax and Medicaid tax that every employee has to pay because it comes straight out of the payroll budget for every company.
