I went to a Protest!!

Ok....I guess I'll make this my first post to explain the title. A few weeks ago I went an Anti-Tax Protest with a friend at the state capital in Atlanta and I learned quite a bit. I enjoy chanting "less taxes" and "more freedom" and I enjoy doing something to show who and what I support. I also learned that it's not just the other party that are out there that are ignorant. I saw a few folks out there that are obviously upset that we have a black president. I saw some others out there that had signs that just didn't make any sense. They can't blame Obama for the taxes they are currently paying. He's just getting started. They can be mad at him next year and after. And I saw some folks saying they'll bring some guns to their next protest rather than the sign they were carrying. Ignorance is annoying to me. On either side. I realize politics is not interesting to everyone but it should be. At least interesting enough to keep them up to date on what's going on in the world. And you should be able to have at least some discussion about why you either support or not support any major thing going on, whether it's the budget or some piece of legislation. And certainly the idea of spending your money and my money through taxation! It is our money. As my boss would say, if we were taxed at 100% we would be slaves. Since we're taxed at 30% or wherever we fall makes us partial slaves. I may not go to that extreme but to a certain exten I do agree with him. This administration and all the other politicians decide how to spend our money. They’ll spend over half a million on an Air Force One flyover NYC that causes mass panic and hysteria just to create a little pin that you can be purchased in souvenir shops throughout Washington DC. This does not count the money it took to control the panic this flyover caused and the hours spent trying to find out who was at fault. You put your money towards that! You put your money towards bridges, airports, the study of volcanos and transgender interaction in Australia, and hovering trains, and momento coins, and whatever else that simply isn't needed in most cases. And another topic of discussion is how much power should the President of the US have over private companies? Should he be able to fire CEO's or control bonuses or advertisement money? Should he be allowed to select a Treasurer that doesn't pay his own taxes properly? Lots of areas of interest out there for me and possibly you as well!! One reason I decided to do this blog was b/c I felt it was not enough to talk or think to myself about politics and how upset I am and how disappointed I am about what’s going on in our country. I figured I might as well write to myself about how upset I am as well. Talking and thinking to myself just doesn’t cut it! I need to put it down in a blog to really feel like I’ve done all I can! I said once before on facebook that I hope some day I’m on a plane where terrorists try to take over and I’m some how able to fight them off and become a national hero and then use that platform to run for office and become a Senator or something. That’s pretty much my only chance! I don’t see it happening any other way. Not too many Sarbanes Oxley Accountants (if that’s what you want to call me) end up as politicians. So how else am I supposed to get there! I’m not going to start over and I’m not going to run for my Home Owners Associate Board thinking that’s going to get me to where I would like to be. So the only option is to save a plane full of people from terrorist acts and then be interviewed by all the major networks and talk about how I was doing my part to keep the country safe and how we as Americans need to do what we can to protect our country or start a blog that becomes a must read for millions! So we'll see what happens!!
