Messiahs have a lot more overhead than they used to

From the Tea Party at the Minnesota state capitol, photographed by John of Powerline. He also has a video of the event.

By the way, if the Tea Parties are being covered by the European media, can you imagine how the Europeans are scratching their heads at this? They have no concept of this kind of mass, peaceful but spirited, citizen resistance to government.

(For readers who don’t get the references, the “10%” in the protester’s sign is a reference to tithing, whereby members of a Christian church give ten percent of their income to the support of the church, and that rate of income tax is being compared with Obama’s [I think] 28 percent tax rate on the U.S. economy, far higher than it has ever been. See Peter Ferrara’s article at The American Spectator laying out out the figures.)
