Conservative activists clashed with counter-protesters Thursday during a Tea Party rally in Washington, D.C.'s Freedom Square.

While the vast majority of attendants were there to represent the Tea Party movement, a handful from the progressive organization The Other 95% showed up as well to publicly tout the tax cuts received by most Americans this tax season.

Tea Party member Laurell Fee, from Las Vegas, Nevada, took issue with the message of the counter-protest.

“What tax cuts are we talking about? Who got a tax cut, and how much? $7 bucks every two weeks? What are you going to do with that?" Fee told Talk Radio News.

Fee added that the counter-protesters should “Get a job, support themselves.”

Alex Lawson, a member of The Other 95%,, brushed off the "get a job" comment.

“They continually yell at us to ‘get a job,'" said Lawson. "I have a job, I am out on my lunch hour."

Added Lawson, “These people come out here continuously ... so I am wondering if the people yelling at me to ‘get a job’ actually have a job.”
