Boston Tea Party (Part 2)

Last Wednesday, Tax Day, many Americans took part in another tea party in a sense. We see America reverting back to its old tactics, when they don't like something...dress up as indians and have a tea party. I understand what they are trying to do here, and it is really cool. I see the symbolism in the old days back under British tryanny, and how they are comparing this day back to a time of complete taxation without representation. But in reality it is a bit of a stretch.

The other day I was watching the Daly show with Jon Stewart, and they went on to completely shut down this comparison. They had a British man out there asking various questions about if this compares to the days of British tryanny. Surprisingly almost all of the people answered yes! But immediately the British man would shoot down all thier comparisons in a very comical way. Although it was really funny, I am starting to think about how others view the Obama Administration, to think that someone could actually compare today to tryanny is just ridiculous, and although they are upset, they need to just stop complaining, and unite with the country to overcome this tough time.
