America witnessed protests in a number of states on Tax Day, April 15 in the form of ‘Tea Party’ rallies and protests, inspired by the original Boston Tea Party protests. Some of those attending were even dressed in the 18th century costumes. So what were they protesting against?

Typically, the common man is a silent witness to the money he has paid as taxes that are used for causes he does want to support. One would believe that these protests were a means for the average taxpayer to vent his frustration at the bailouts given using taxpayers money to financial behemoths, which in their aggressive search for profits were responsible for the start of the current crisis in the first place.
