The TEA Parties are being protested much more for out of control spending than they are for taxes, though taxes play a very large role in the matter.

IMO the TP message was too broad and using the Boston TP as a starting point was a miss step. Not focusing your message allows your opponents and the media to frame it how they wish and the will choose those that can be attacked the easiest.

Most people pay little or no taxes at all, just look at the most recent Rasmussen poll and how many think theirs are too little or just right. How do you start with a message that won’t be acceptd by a majority of the people? You end up looking like you’re defending the wealthiest.

The message should have been focused on the financial criminality, how no one is being investigated or prosecuted and who is going to pay for it (future generations). These messages would resonate with 90% of the people.

It should have ALL been about the spending, borrowing and deficit.

Tax policy is a losing argument for conservatives.
