About 450 people met at Southlake Town Square to blast bailouts and higher taxes on April 15, the day that federal income taxes are due. The event also drew about 50 counter-protesters.
In a partisan presentation, the crowd listened as conservative radio host Mark Davis and U.S. Rep. Kenny Marchant, R-Coppell, criticized government spending. Crafted after the famous 18th century Boston Tea Party, which protested British taxation without representation, the TEA in this event stood for "Taxed Enough Already." After a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of God Bless America, Marchant professed his opposition to the federal stimulus package.
