HERE’S A NEWS REPORT FROM THE RALEIGH “TEA PARTY” PROTEST. “More than 200 people gathered in Raleigh to protest taxes, corporate bailouts and all manner of federal and state spending. . . . The event, billed as a modern-day tea party, captured a sentiment of frustration with the government’s efforts to aid banks, automakers and homeowners. Those in attendance said the government, by intervening in the markets, is rewarding the irresponsible behavior of executives and home buyers who made bad bets. And, protesters said, government leaders are burdening taxpayers with their actions.”
