Tea Party?

I was reading the newspaper, and saw the article about this weekends tea party at the Space Coast Stadium. I heard my dad talking about it the other day, so I wanted to read what it was about. Appearantly it is a rally to talk about the money being spent in DC. I do watch the news on daily basis and can honestly say I am very concerned about the future of America. The more they raise our taxes, the more it is going to hurt the middle class. I recall during Obama's campain that he said that the middle class would not be touched. Hmmmmm...the new energy bill...yeah that is going to affect EVERYONE. People arent even going to be able to afford their bills. The new healthcare plan is going to tax people like crazy as well. I do agree something should be done about healthcare, but honestly, if you look at other countries who have their government run their healthcare system, people have to stand in line and dont get the care that we get here in America now. They still want to keep private companies, but how are they going to compete? Plus it is going to raise the price of the private healthcare ( that companies give their employees) and therefore cause people to not be able to afford it and then have to be forced to go to the government plan. I really dont like how the government is in control of everything...arent we a free country? I work really hard for my money, and I dont think that part of my money should go to people who feel they dont have to work. I do think that there are people out there that need help...however, there are plenty that know how to work the system. Anyways, so the whole tea party thing I think will be funny...however, what is it really doing? NOTHING!! We can complain all we want, but really, it doesnt matter, because we vote for the people who are making choices for us. Some of us win and some of us loose. I just think it is funny that they are going to have this on the 4th of July, and the way they are getting people to come..is by saying they get into the Manatee game afterwards, and then after that there is fireworks. Here is my idea on everything....America is very uneducated. If we were to put more money into education, and require people to get a high school diploma, and make education the most important thing, then America will better understand the basic needs of humans, and how thier country was started. Sadly, so many people go out and vote without having any knowledge of what they are voting for. Then they all complain. oh well what are we going to do!!

By the way....WARNING!!! My parents own a tax company, and the IRS sent out a letter telling them to warn their clients, that although you are all getting more money on your paycheck...what an extra $13 or something....over 52 weeks, that adds up. However, the government did not change the tax brackets, therefore, you are just getting more money up front, and could fall short when taxes are due...meaning you could owe money because of it. So be careful....do not claim more than you need to!!!

Ok enough of my ranting! Had the 3 hour glucose test today. So boring...and I got pricked 5 times!! I really dont think I have diabetes...but we will see. Bob and I walk in the pool now nightly. It is excersise for me that is less strenuous, and we do it at night so it isnt sunny out...still kinda hot, but nice because sun isnt beating down on me. Praying for 11 1/2 weeks of a healthy pregnancy!
