Your post was right on the money (so to speak)...One does wonder how these groups of seemingly dressed-down people, can afford to take time off work (oh, do they work???), fly or drive fast to the nearest demonstration station (see Seattle WTO for examples), have time to make signs before they go, and all of the other "stuff"....

WHO pays their way?????????....I was in DC in April, and saw the demonstrations then as we were staying right by the White House...trust me, these folks have ALL the hi-tech gear one could want.... they stay in nice hotels, although from their appearance, they would like one to believe they are one of the "down and out." So again, I ask, WHO is paying their way. The press has NEVER done a good job asking this question, and getting a poll of answers...

I think that slowly, and because of the debacle the past week and a half...M/M Silent Majority America are considering they too might have to make their presence known. And honestly, with Internet, I believe they will.

How about a tax revolt.

Everyone change their withholdings and put the taxes in an escrow account.

That might get some attention. <vbg>
