The Peoria Tea Party
Supposedly there were at least 500 or 5000 demonstrators–the local news outlets haven’t decided. 5000 seems high. I wasn’t there, but I do agree with some of the core concerns, including the one below. And while I think there is a huge amount of waste in much of the public sector, and that spending should be cut, I’m not necessarily on the low taxes bandwagon. Thank “I.O.U.S.A.” for that sentiment, but I’ll save that for another day.

Why are they are calling it tea party? I always thought that the original tea party was more about constitutional rights than government spending.
If they want to point out wasteful spending, they should call it Pork Party.
The girl holding that sign looks a little young to be paying too many taxes. Someone should wave a “Honk if I’m paying for your education” sign at her.
That and there is a bit of irony when all of the people hanging around protesting the debt and spending could have instead been putting in an honest day’s work.
