Looks like Jay and his kid wasn't the only one who noticed. But it was because of the 5 cent bag tax DC has rather than the restaurant tax :
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2010/08/glenn-beck-rally-attendees-all.html Glenn Beck rally attendees allegedly get into D.C. bag tax altercation By Matt DeLong The George Washington University student newspaper reports that the first day of move-in for the fall semester went pretty smoothly Saturday, despite the campus' proximity to the nearest Metro stop to the Lincoln Memorial. This was, of course, the site of Glenn Beck's big "Restoring Honor rally" that drew tens of thousands of participants to Washington. The day was not entirely without incident, unfortunately. From the GWU Hatchet: Though the rally was a mostly peaceful gathering, two rally attendees got into a heated argument with an employee at the GW Deli over the D.C. bag tax, which ultimately resulted in one of the tea party members throwing a sandwich in the deli employee's face. The GW Deli declined to comment on the issue. The District of Columbia requires all shoppers to pay a 5-cent tax for plastic or paper bags to carry their purchases. The funds pay for cleanup of the polluted Anacostia River. On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 3:26 PM, Larry C. Lyons <[email protected]> wrote: > There were at least two.
