Speaking at the Sacramento Anti-Tax Rally

Tom McClintock Speech at Tea Party Rally

Sacramento, California. April 15, 2009. Let the word go forth today from gatherings like this across the nation that the silent majority is no longer silent. We are stirring. We are awakening. We are many. And we are Americans – the latest generation of Americans who have been called upon to defend our liberties and the constitutional principles of limited government that protect our freedom.

Think about how far we have strayed from what Jefferson called the “sum of good government.” He described it as (quote) “a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.”

Somewhere along the line we lost that government. Isn’t it time that we got it back?

Our opponents seek to portray us as angry taxpayers. No, we are not angry taxpayers. We are resolute Americans. And today, we here highly resolve that the liberties defended on far-off battlefields by ten generations of American patriots and heroes will not be casually thrown away here at home – not on our generation’s watch.

We are here because we, as a people, are awakening to the danger of a government that spends too much and borrows too much and taxes too much, because we know what that means.

We know that you can’t spend your way rich.

We know that you can’t borrow your way out of debt.

And we know that you can’t tax your way to prosperity. Read the rest of this entry »

Antelope Valley ‘tea party’ tax protest is a success

On Saturday, it was my pleasure to participate in a tax protest rally in the Antelope Valley. At least 500 people attended the spirited event, carrying signs with clever slogans such as: “Born Free, Taxed to Death.”

Along with several of my colleagues, I spoke out against Prop 1A, the measure that will extend the recent $16 billion annual tax increases by two years. It is exactly these types of public protests that will lead to the failure of Prop. 1A in May and bring more awareness to the onerous tax-and-spend mentality that prevails in Sacramento.

As I stated at the rally, Taxation is an attack on freedom; you have fewer choices in life when you have less money.

Rallies will be held throughout Californian on April 15, tax day. To find out about a rally near you, click here.

BIG TAXPAYER RALLY APRIL 15TH AT THE STATE CAPITOL

Fox News star Neil Cavuto will be broadcasting LIVE from the event!

Americans of all political affiliations are getting tired of the behavior of our government.

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, we Americans work more for less – and the government takes more and more.

On April 15th, taxpayers will rally on the South Steps of the State Capitol to say that we are already taxed to the max and we will not pay even higher taxes to finance reckless out of control spending.

Americans for Prosperity will bring their giant inflatable “Already Taxed to the Max!” (ATM) machine.  We will have bumper stickers and rally signs for you if you do not bring a sign of your own.  Expect radio talk show host Eric Hogue to be at the event as well as taxpayer advocate Senator George Runner.

Let’s send a message to the Sacramento establishment: Enough is enough!

Where:
California State Capitol, South Steps

When:
Wednesday, April 15th – Tax Day
Welcome at 11:00 am
Rally from 12:00 pm – 3:00 pm
