In Rhode Island, the number of participants at the Tax day Rally last yearand this years rally was estimated to roughly be the same. I'm not sure about Boston.
Does that have any significance (i.e. because there were not significantly more people there after a year as a 'movement')?
Not a dig at the tea party. Just curious what you guys think.

Why would there be more people at the Tax Day Rally? A majority of Tea Party participants believe the taxes that they pay is fair.

I think come election time, the true feelings of the American people will come out. People who support the Tea Party vote.
