Boston Tea Party 2009

On Wednesday, President Obama adressed our economic woes once again. He promised that his administration has taken the time to make sure that his tax cuts go to the right people. He says that the tax cuts will go to America's working class. The cuts will allow people to continue to pursue the American dream. Obama believes that the working class is the backbone of our economy and they are the ones who deserve tax cuts and the most help. When it is difficult for these people to make money and live well in our society, naturally our economy will have trouble as well. Obama has said that he will directly put $120 billion into the pockets of 120 million Americans. While this sounds great, a smaller group of people are not satisfied. A group of people dressed as 18th century Americans dumped tea into the Boston Harbor in celebration of the very same event that took place hundreds of years ago, also protesting taxes in a way. However, these people are not the only people upset over our economy. Rallies took place from Chicago to Atlanta. Many of the participants were older people concerned for their children and grandchildren's futures in our nation's economy. Even in Rochester New York, a group of people threw a cooler with "TEA" written on the side into a body of water. Many American's are concerned for our nations economy with good reason.
