I have to respond to Gordon Fake's letter April 20. I think he missed the whole point of the tea party protesters.

I attended the event at Save Mart Center on April 15. Most of the people there were just your everyday, tax-paying citizens. Our complaint is not with the taxes we are paying now, it is what our children and grandchildren will be paying for generations to come.

We can't keep printing money and spending trillions of dollars we don't have. Somebody has to pay some day.
