Take Action Minnesota organized a march and rally on Tax Day to try to pressure our congressmen, Chip Cravaack(R), to support the Buffett Rule. In case you don't pay attention to the nation's political ongoings, the Buffett Rule is a proposed bill to raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Americans so that they pay at least of what the middle class pay(currently the effective tax rate for many of the wealthy is lower than what the middle class and poor pay.)
We marched from the Rainbow Center, down to Superior Street, then up to the Civic Center.
The march went to the Federal Building(where Cravaack's office is) to have a little rally.
There were over 50 people rallying for the Buffet Rule. The rally was greeted by 5 or 6 Tea Partiers who brought their giant "Cravaack for Congress" signs, and were using the signs to try to block out the rally from the media. They do this for everything.
This final image is of a Take Action MN sticker that somebody put on a Cravaack sign. The Tea Partier holding the sign never noticed the sticker.
Can't pay gas! Can't pay rent! All our taxes went to the one percent!
ReplyDeleteDo Duluther's (Is that what you're called? Or is it Duluthites?) protest more or do I just not notice Minneapolis protesters.
