I was taking a look at one of the papers I commonly read on-line, and came across this article about the protest in Lansing, Michigan.

Thousands express anger over taxes at Lansing ‘Tea Party’

The Michigan Taxpayer Tea Party drew at least 5,000 people to the grounds of the Capitol. The well-behaved crowd filled the area out front. Many brought their children, and hundreds were carrying signs with slogans such as “If everyone paid taxes we would all be equal,” and “Cut taxes not deals. You have run out of our money.” Another one said, “Obama Yo Mama. No Socialism.”

Most of those at the rally arrived in their own vehicles with very few being bused in, as is common with protests in Lansing.

I found it interesting.
