From the Federation of Connecticut Taxpayer Organizations:

At this time of year, we have an opportunity to consciously reflect upon our forefathers and their sacrifices made in an effort to establish a country free from religious persecution, government suppression and excessive taxation.

As we reflect upon that which we have to be thankful for, we recognize Thanksgiving as an American heritage and symbol which began in October, 1621 at Plymouth as the   Pilgrims celebrated their first harvest, and which continued throughout subsequent years.  During the American Revolution in the late 1770's, the Continental Congress proposed a national thanksgiving.   Thanksgiving was ultimately proclaimed an annual national holiday in 1863 by then President Abraham Lincoln.   

Our forefathers were men and women of conviction who worked hard and fought hard for a government which they would control.  They knew the effects of excessive taxation, and on December 16, 1773, in an act of defiance, set the stage in history for what came to be known as the Boston Tea Party.

Today, there is a taxpayer revolution growing throughout our country.  As the sub prime debacle has resulted in the loss of homes, jobs and savings, the next segment of the population to feel the effects of a government gone wild,  with the excessive spending and mismanagement of taxpayer dollars, will be homeowners who cannot afford to pay their property taxes.   Where unpaid mortgages resulted in foreclosures, unpaid property taxes will result in tax lien sales by local municipalities.  The effects will be the same.  Like Eminent Domain, homeowners will lose their homes. The following offers insight into the effects of the sub prime debacle, the trillion dollar plus bailout, and the impact on homeowners as the effects of Wall Street flows down to Main Street. See the rest -HERE-
