Tomorrow’s the big day — the Tax Day Tea Party. Seems like folks all across the country have finally had their fill of Washington’s spending spree. And really, who can blame them? You can’t keep handing out money like Halloween candy and then look surprised when the bucket’s empty.
People are waking up. They’ve had enough of watching politicians throw around billions while regular families are counting pennies at the grocery store. Most of us have already cut back — fewer dinners out, no new truck this year, stretching what we’ve got. Meanwhile, Washington’s still acting like the party’s just getting started and somebody else is picking up the tab.
When I first heard about these Tea Parties, I thought maybe a few folks would show up with signs and a couple of thermoses of coffee. But this thing’s catching fire. It’s not about being Republican or Democrat — it’s about being fed up. About reminding the people in charge that the money they’re so quick to spend doesn’t fall from the sky. It comes from us — the ones out here working, paying taxes, and trying to keep the lights on.
Tomorrow, people from every walk of life will be standing together to say, “Enough.” I like that word. It’s simple, honest, and to the point. Enough of the waste, enough of the excuses, and enough of pretending that the government knows better than the folks footing the bill.
So whether you’re standing on a courthouse lawn, waving from your car, or cheering from the kitchen table — tomorrow’s the day to be heard. We’re not asking for much. Just a little common sense, a little accountability, and maybe a reminder that the government works for us — not the other way around.
