Tea Anyone?

Today was the final day of rent collection.  However, because it was also a holiday, I had already collected most of the rents and therefore only had a few to pick up this morning. 

My real agenda for today was to attend a local tea party, protesting the socialist agenda; reckless spending; and impending radical increases in taxes that are occurring in the US.  I was a little disappointed in the turnout at today's tea party, but the weather here in Ohio was rainy and it was a holiday.  I'm sure that many people had family plans and therefore couldn't attend.  However, at a time when the government is intent on taxing the vast majority of the middle class out of existence and taking away our way of life, I would hope that people could be a little more focused.

It is becoming increasingly clear to me that the American Public is incapable of acting proactively.  Just as has happened throughout history in other countries, the vast majority of the public will allow all their freedoms to be taken away and will not utter so much as a whisper in opposition.  It's disappointing.
