Pics from the HUGH Atlanta Rally!!!
http://www.wsbtv.com/slideshow/news/19190746/detail.html

About 5 million in Metro Atlanta - looks like a few hundred, only whites, showed up for the rally.

Very weird.

3. And they're all sitting down too.
What kind of "Protest" is this? Every protest and rally I've ever been at, I was damn glad to be able to get off my feet afterwards.

10. They are all old racist fools.
They look like people who most likely got a tax CUT under Obama. But being the racist assholes that they are, they are using this occasion to protest the ELECTION of Obama, an African American. That is what this is all about. It's a bunch of old racists with their panties in a wad over the election of something other than a while male as POTUS.

Where were these morons when the George W. Bush criminal government was pissing away billions of unaccounted for $$$ in Iraq?? NO where to be found.

The "tea baggers" are not about Taxes. They are about the results of November, 2008.

5. What kind of "rally" is that?`
It looks like a bunch of old white guys sitting around in chairs. I especially like the "Taxed Enough Already" nonsense, given that the percentage of GDP collected as federal tax revenue in 2008 was 15.5%, the lowest since 1950. If anything, we need more taxes, considering all the work that is to be done.

I just look at these silly fools with their costumes and their rage and think "Thank God I'm not crazy!"

6. Yes, absolutety right. But I think most people realise that its the distribution of the taxation
that's at fault. The taxes on the poorer folk, who are significantly penalised in comparison with the rich, in terms of the ratios between their incomes and the taxes they pay, need to be significantly lowered; and the taxes on the wealthier, significantly higher - notably the richest.

All flat taxes are an abomination. In my opinion, the only tax that should be levied is on income. If it can't be, for instance in relation to parking - then it should be free, as it used to be. As well as being un fair on the majority, flat taxes just encourage empire-building within the different states and municipalities.

19. They allegedly got more down the road in Disgusta, GA
Supposedly, there were "over a thousand" at that one. Yet, none of the local news reports ever showed any photographs to back that up. All close-up shots. From what I could make out, there might have been a couple hundred there, too.
