Taxes are the price we pay for...a civilized society?

In celebration of our favorite day of the year, the deadline for filing federal income taxes, here is a funny video from ReasonTV, showing you what you get for your taxes:

If taxes are the price we pay for civilization, do you ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

From all of us here at RightKlik, happy Tax Day!

Left Coast Rebel: Be Prepared for the Crashers

Are You Ready?

"We will remember in November."

Conservatives, Tea Partiers and concerned citizens of every variety have pledged to remember the blatant disregard for the will of the people that this Congress has displayed. People who think this country is headed in the wrong direction plan to make their voices heard load and clear on November 2nd. I'm looking forward to that day.

But there's a problem with that plan. If we wait until November to get involved, many of us will be stuck having to choose between bad candidates and candidates who are even worse.

Are you tired of choosing between the lesser of two evils when you step up to the ballot box? Get involved in the primaries. Promote your favorite candidates on a blog, on Twitter, and in letters to the editor. Make financial contributions. And don't just show up to vote...take like-minded friends with you.

Two states have already had primary elections (IL, TX). Several states including Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia will be holding primary elections in May.

This chart lists the 2010 primary election dates in all the States.

Who's running in your state/district? Find out here.

I'm looking forward to the Tax Day Tea Party protests (I will be attending one in Atlanta this week), but the time for simply making noise has passed. Let's be sure to harness the energy of our Tea Party protests for the purpose of making a powerful impact on the upcoming primary elections.

We need to be doing our research now. Some of us will have quite a bit of homework to do. In my congressional district, there 12 Republicans, 4 Democrats, one Libertarian and 4 Independents running for an open seat in the U.S. House of Representatives!

Welcome, Pundit and Pundette readers!

Question of the month: Do you know who is running in your state/district?

Go to a Tax Day Tea Party

RightKlik's Protest Sign

Go to a Tax Day Tea Tarty.  Meet other conservatives. Have fun.  Make a point.  

Ignore the naysayers.  We will be heard.  Washington will take note...and more importantly, the rest of the country will take note.  We will make a lasting impression, and the momentum will build.

Americans have overcome bigger troubles than the ones we face today.  We can emerge from this government-created disaster.  But voting and complaining won't be enough.  To tip the scales in our favor, we have to hit the streets.

If at all possible, make time in your day to attend a Tax Day Tea Party.

Baby RightKlik.  Due October 2009.

Little RightKlik will be at a Tax Day Tea Party, will you?

Confirmed: The Obama DHS hit job on conservatives is real...

It is no coincidence that this report echoes Tea Party-bashing left-wing blogs and demonizes the very Americans who will be protesting in the thousands on Wednesday for the nationwide Tax Day Tea Party.

You're probably a terrorist.

Rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.

The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.

D.C. Families Bemoan Imminent Loss of Voucher Program

The D.C. program gives about 1,700 low-income children scholarships worth up to $7,500, paid for with federal taxpayer dollars each year to cover costs of attending private schools — rather than the long-troubled D.C. public schools. The five-year pilot program was set to expire this year until Congress extended the program for only one more school year.

RightKlik will report on the Atlanta Tea Party.

Party Like It's 1773!

The original Boston Tea Party was on December 16, 1773. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and has often been referenced in other political protests.

On April 15, 2009, through their participation in the nationwide tax day tea parties, taxpayers all over the country will be protesting our new era of unfettered government greed.  What do the tax day tea parties represent?  Glad you asked — here are some statements from those who are leading the way:

While bailing out the irresponsible parties, the government is pushing hard-working Americans to the brink of another revolution. As the government works to redistribute wealth, taxpayers work more for less — and the government takes more and more.

This is truly a non-partisan and grass-roots event. Anyone in elected office, at whatever level, cannot afford to ignore this many unhappy voters.  We want to send the message that these elected officials work for us. We hired them, and we can fire them. If they don't want to listen to the American people and their constituents, we will work tirelessly to retire them when they are up for re-election.

We are proud of our country and will do everything we can to stand shoulder to shoulder and protect the constitution and this great land. It is our responsibility as free citizens to speak up when we are deeply concerned about actions which will affect so many people — including our children and grandchildren.  We are not subjects; we are citizens.

There will be even more tea parties on July 4. This is just the beginning!

Why I tea party like it’s 2099

I attend the tea parties as a way of showing that it saddens me to know that people who might have otherwise cured a horrible disease, designed grand buildings, created art and music, invented a car that runs on kumquats that people actually want to buy...are now spending most of their energy trying to figure out a way to write off their lawnmowers as dependents.
