Unusually high taxes imposed by the Harris administration has set off a chain reaction of thirty-two protests and rallies around the nation.

Over six million people turned out for an afternoon rally outside the White House, blocking the roads and clogging the transit sytems.

In Milas, three million marched down Aiwa Center along the Governors' Mansion. Over six thousand were detained by authorities.

Official estimates confirmed by the White House is a number close to one-hundred million that are protesting the nations' average 91% tax rate. It has been told to us that all rallies that spark up are to be dicipated with rubber fire and tear gas.
