Video,Taxpayers Kicked Out of (Iowa) Capitol During Tax Debate (Video- taste of what is to come)

A debate over tax changes forces dems to clear the chamber. Looking at the video, however, you can see that the crowd was composed of mostly older, Amish types and there was no reason to kick these fine Americans out while they were merely excercising their free speech rights. A gazillion illegals can march and turn an entire state upside down, but if a group of hardworking American taxpayers says enough is enough, then -- there's the door. It's only a matter of time before our "Shot heard 'round the world" moment.

I didn't see that at all--there was a mix of students, working class types--what's also not clear from the video is what exactly happened that led up to the viewing section being cleared...

The reporter said rowdy, but none of that was on the video.

You can't conduct a meeting/hearing when people are being disruptive, however it wasn't clear how loud or disruptive they were--and for how long.

Isn't it ironic that this occurred in Iowa? Iowa was Obama's springboard. You have to wonder if things would have turned out differently if he didn't get that early momentum.

That's the problem they were taxpayers. If they were socialist tax dodgers, they would have been given seats at the head table with a filet mignon dinner, paid for by the taxpayer.

you mean if he didn't truck in thousands of people from out of state to skew the results in Iowa?
