The “silent majority” speaks, and speaks loudly....

Good that people are fed up but what can we expect to come of it? I mean, are Democrats so comfortable with their future election prospects that, short of a widespread refusal to pay taxes, they will just brush this stuff off?
For the record, I advocate always paying taxes, as I am a Christian.
Atlanta’s Tea party is at noon this Friday!
How did I miss this?!
When we moved to Durham County the property taxes came as a real shock. I mean, it’s Durham County! Some of what we get for our taxes are convicted felons running the streets and paying for Bill Bell to have a face-to-face with Obama. But, if we want our yard waste picked up we must pay $42 for a can and an extra $60 a year.
Maybe the Bastille in Trenton should be stormed to free the patriot? Obama Democrats don't pay taxes willfully. Irwin Schiff does not pay the so-called income tax without willfulness and he gets 30 years.
Outrageous!
Oh goody. A snob spouting cliches about diversity.
Is this really the kind we want to link arm in arm with over taxes?
Wow.
This from Chapel Hill??? Astonishing! Best news of the day so far.
It is beginning...
California’s Prop 13 came from the Carter days, as I recall. Nothing like a socialist to inspire tax protests!
I’m amused at our neighbors to the west. Orange County is probably the second-bluest county in North Carolina, right up there with Buncombe County (Asheville) and not far behind here in Nifongville (Durham County). The county’s slap full of liberal UNC leeches and expat Yankees, and now they’re suddenly realizing that the monster they’ve created needs to feed off THEIR money. Most of these people could probably care less about limited government and federalism...they’re too cheap to pay property taxes for the government pork that THEY demanded.
As I sit here and watch Durham spin down toward becoming Zimbabwe-on-Jordan-Lake, I’ll be sure to play my tiny violin for the Obamabots over in Chapel Hell. You made your bed, Rats. Lie in it.

Orange resident here...
This certainly is good news, but I have to ask:
Where have these people been?
Particularly, where have they been every election day for the past two decades?
Are the poor choices of the past finally hitting folks in the wallet?
