Tax Tea Party Scheduled for GA Capitol Steps

Demonstrators will descend on the Georgia's Capitol tonight night for what's being billed as one of the largest anti-tax "tea parties" taking place around the country. Sean Hannity from Fox News will broadcast his show from the Capitol steps on Wednesday night. A large crowd is expected along Sean Hannity from Fox News who will broadcast his show from the Capitol steps. A number of Georgia Republicans are scheduled to be on hand as well as residents angry over what they say is too much government spending and the Obama administration's proposed tax increases on wealthier Americans. Organizers say there are some 1,800 tea party events scheduled around the country, styled off the pre-Revolutionary War demonstration in Boston.
