Anti-tax protesters gather at capitol

Hundreds of anti-tax activists gathered outside the state Capitol on Wednesday to protest government spending and taxation.

But many of the protesters seemed more interested in complaining about the growth of the federal government and President Obama than they did state issues.

Signs held aloft by people in the crowd of 300 or so ranged from "Stop Obamacare, give us jobs!" to "No Hope in Socialism!"

Asked why he turned out to protest outside the state Capitol, 73-year-old Bob Bunderson of Berthoud talked about federal spending and complained about members of Congress. When asked about how state lawmakers figured in those issues, he said, "I guess I get the state and the U.S. (governments) confused sometimes."

I'd hate for him to compromise his principles

And yet he gets to vote while our cat cannot....

Still, Bunderson and others said they were angry at the Democratic-led legislature for passing a slew of bills recently to eliminate tax exemptions on a variety of goods and services to help balance the state budget.

He said state spending is the problem, though, he admitted, "I don't have a clue what they could cut. I'm sure we've got some programs that are touchy-feely programs that are only for the benefit of people who sponsored the bill."

"Bob and Lauree Bunderson of Berthoud were there to protest what they call “Obamacare,” saying they don’t want the government to have anything to do with health care. Bob, however, says he’s pretty pleased with the government-run Medicare plan he has, but that’s a different issue."
