Tomorrow is tax day here in the U.S.  A lot of Tea Parties are going to take place. People are just plain mad!  I'm mad, too!  I'm forgoing talking about Linux today to join my fellow citizens and raise my voice in protest to all the wasteful spending our government has been doing.  The following comes from Jim Z and sums up the situation far better than anything I could ever write.   Bravo, Jim!  Please feel free to copy and pass along to others.

Dear Mr. Obama Dear Mr. Obama,

Tomorrow I will be sending $3000 to the IRS. Too bad,  if I had that money I can think of a lot of things to do with it. The guy down the street is a carpenter. He's been looking for work for a long time. I was thinking of re-finishing our Kitchen floor. Looks like I won't be doing that this year. I also know a guy who does vinyl siding. I would love to get my house sided, and $3000 would certainly be a large part of the cost.  But I  guess I won't be doing that this year. I know an electrician who is out of work.  I'm sure he could help me upgrade our electrical service.  Too bad, I won't be doing that this year. Perhaps I could put the money towards a new car. I know someone at a dealership that is really in need of the business. Oh well,  looks like I can't do that this year either. Instead, I am handing it over to the government so you can "stimulate" the economy. Am I missing something here ?
