The TEA Party is the American Taliban. They want to be in charge and want to dismantle the existing government and eliminate all the social safety net programs so they don’t have to pay any taxes. They suppress opposition voters, want to deport millions, and to control women’s lives. They think income inequality and racism is just fine, after all, they are good, white Christians.
“Voter ID” is NOT out of place on the wall because the reason these laws are being passed are for the PURPOSE of voter suppression in order to EXCLUDE . . . !
as if the 1% earned their money. generally it was handed to them in the form of an inheritence. sure some of them work that inheritence well, but they had a leg up to begin with. welcome to the american aristocracy – exactly what this country was formed to end
The 1% take advantage of every tax loophole that is available. They feel entitled to take every bit of government largesse that is legally available. This is considered honorable and pragmatic. But those who take advantage of every legal loophole in government assistance programs are considered leeches. How do we reconcile this paradox?
Personally, I’m against welfare cheats, whether personal or corporate welfare. If we closed loopholes in both, our country would be far better off. But we seem to prefer to have a split personality where that is concerned, and that will only continue the toxic us-vs.-them mentality that keeps us from realizing we are all Americans and should work for the common good.

How many Tim McVeighs are out there eating up, or spreading, all the anti-government hate as well? Some dipstick in Nevada is being touted by Hannity and Faux as Ruby Ridge part II, and there’s no hate from “media types” either?

I guess only minorities are the only ones who use food stamps. I mean that sounds like something out of the 1960s.

Just for sake of argument:
The 1% take advantage of every tax loophole that is available. They feel entitled to take every bit of government largesse that is legally available. This is considered honorable and pragmatic. But those who take advantage of every legal loophole in government assistance programs are considered leeches. How do we reconcile this paradox?

Fox “news” is there to bridge the gap between subtle hatred and blatant hatred.
