No, no. The Rolling Tea Party in Asheville is neither the time nor the place to wrap 1040’s around mother nature and smoke them. Rather, advocates for more efficiency in government will be hanging out at post offices throughout the city to help people, who felt they could better use the interest on their hard-earned money than the government, connect with others who share their feelings.

In past years, groups like FreedomWorks and the Libertarian Party of Buncombe County made a habit of greeting people who owed the government money April 15 at the Coxe Avenue post office. One year, activist Bill Lack, who worked at a costume shop, even procured Grim Reaper outfits. Come to think of it, “Don’t Fear the Reaper” has been playing a whole lot on the radio this week.
