Anti-tax rally in Austin

"Tax Day Tea Party" rallies were held across America today as part of a protest against the federal stimulus bill and the budget. Sometimes Austin feels a progressive bubble, but then you stumble across events like these and remember you're smack dab in the middle of Texas. I walked away wondering what Dee Snider thinks of them using We're Not Gonna Take It.

Sorry for the shaky video, but hopefully you get some sense of the event. I love the guy with the cigar towards the end of this one.



This was the view from the stage, kind of panoramic perspective.
