This week Shane and Jonathan added Josh Brady on third mic to discuss taxes on both the day tax returns were due and while “Tea Parties” were being “celebrated” all over the country. While it’s clear that the Tea Parties had been co-opted by Republicans, the idea behind the rallies themselves came from libertarian minded people over a year ago. Mike Fairman reported live from the Atlanta Tea Party and was able to provide some insight as the mood and personalities of the rally. It was noted how shoddily CNN covered the rally as well.
