Today (Tax Day), about 1,500 Caucasians, who may or may not have been affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, gathered on the South Carolina State House grounds under the aegis of protesting “taxation without representation.” Rally organizer and Columbia area real estate magnate, Britton Clark, could not be reached for comment on the irony that the rally was being held on the steps of the State Capitol, the very place where taxation with representation occurs every day in South Carolina. U.S. Senator Jim Demint told the gathered fiery protestors, “This is where I get my strength.” Really? From people who apparently despise the fact that their tax dollars are spent to pay the salaries of firefighters, teachers and police officers. (Hey, Senator, I hear that the quasi-country of Somalia has some political position holes to fill.)
