      It’s Almost Tax Day, Everybody!

         And over-taxed payers who really hate paying taxes will no doubt be car-pooling to that big Cincinnati TEA Party Tax Day Rally on Friday, April 15, at the Eastgate Holiday Inn, where organizers will be hounding you for donations once you get there.  It sort of reminds us of that FREE April 15 Anti-Tax Day Rally we helped put on back in 1993. That was a real Anti-Tax Day Rally!

Ohio’s primary election that was so vital for Conservatives was a total disaster, since it allowed Ohio’s Delusional Governor John Kasich to stay in the Presidential Race.

So what better way to motivate the masses and increase interest in July’s Republican National Intervention in Cleveland than to turn a Tax Day Rally into a fund-raiser. There’s no need to hear the candidates speak, not when our local TEA Party organizers can bloviate endlessly about their claims of all they’ve accomplished.  

For weeks, all those so called “Conservative Organizations” (including the Hamilton County RINO Party) have been e-mailing people on their contact lists, and if all those people showed up, Paul Brown Stadium, Mediocre American Ball Park, and newly renovated Nippert Stadium wouldn’t be big enough to hold them all.

All the Usual Suspects will be speaking, but there’ll be no really big name to draw a crowd. Not even a same-sex marriage supporting U.S. Senator. There could be some music, but don’t expect a rock concert atmosphere. Maybe they could bus in some Black Lives Really, Really Matter activists and Gay protesters for a little excitement. Some of Warren County’s “Sluts in the Suburbs” wouldn’t have too far to travel. A few biased TV reporters could create some media buzz. Sean Hannity should’ve announced he was going to be there. He could always back out again at the last minute again. Those things have always helped create a crowd for our local TEA Partiers in the past. The first 500 attendees will receive a BFD take-home bag filled with information from liberty groups and businesses from around the Tri-State. This year, Donald Trump supporters could burn Ohio Governor Kasich in effigy. Maybe if they had a rally for people who cheat on their taxes, they’d have more people.

Organizers will keep talking about the way they “launched the Cincinnati TEA Party eight years ago,” but long-time Persons of Consequence on both sides of the river know it’s not exactly a new idea. That’s why we always have to remind all of our current local TEA Party groups that nobody will ever take them seriously until they spell “TEA” with all capital letters, like Ohio TEA Party Guy Tom Zawistowski keeps telling them. The Blower helped come up with the “Taxed Enough Already” theme for the TEA Bag Lady in Delhi when her “Taxes Enough Already, Incorporated” was actually first formed. 

And back in 1993, a former neighbor who used to be mentioned in The Whistleblower when he was an important person, convinced us to play a small part in putting together the biggest April 15 anti-tax rally ever held on Fountain Square and a big July 30 anti-tax rally at Sawyer Park. Bill Clinton was in the White House, and “It’s the Spending, Stupid!” was just being heard for the first time. 

Folks from “Taxed Enough Already” were even then trying to form a coalition of individuals and 30 organizations who were fed up with being overtaxed, government spending, and waste. Folks from “Porked Enough Already” were also included. That was a real TEA Party Rally, as the Commemorative April 15, 1993 Whistleblower Newswire (shown above) clearly shows. No wonder the High Fiven White Guys at The Fishwrap endorsed the event and Howard Wilkinson (before he became “Huggable”) may have even written something about it.

Bluegrass Bureau Chief Ken CamBoo says, “Things were really different back then. Whenever there was an anti-tax event anywhere in the tri-state, elected officials from Kentucky were also asked to participate.”

At yesterday’s meeting of the Conservative Agenda, Political Insiders were asking Beloved Whistleblower Publisher Charles Foster Kane what he remembered most about that event. “Our anti-tax coalition made one mistake,” our Beloved Whistleblower Publisher recalled. “Using Indians to re-create the Boston Tea Party was ‘Politically Incorrect.’ Those revolting over-taxed payers should’ve used illegal immigrants instead.”

Can you guess who the Guest Editor in Friday’s “Just Another Guest Column” E-dition on April 15 will be?
