1. Wow....what a groundswell of support.....and tea bags no less? |
|
This makes about as much sense as the repug party these days. "We don't want no more bailouts and stimulus spending"....doh, yeah, ok.
You idiots are about seven years too late. How about we don't want no more illegal wars, butchering a nation of people, decimating our military, spending fortunes to acquire oil rights and a foot hold in the Middle East...blah, blah, blah.
What a bunch of losers and loons. We are a nation of f*cking morons. Proof is in the pudding.

these people don't realize they are being played for pawns! This cheap populist 'tea bag' nonsense is just that, nonsense started by Rick santelli who was angry that some tax dollars were being directed at citizens rather than banks and wall st.
Now, I AM getting restless over this AIG nonsense, and I think Geithner and Summers need to go, but i'm not mad at government spending in general because that is just stupid...

3. Tea? How about throwing out Coca-Cola instead. That's what they should be doing. |

They are right to be protesting about all the credit, but they should be protesting for higher wages and tearing up their credit cards.
I wonder how many of these people are, themselves, in deep credit card debt?
I recommend that everyone read the article entitled Infinite Debt in the April Harper's. It is the best explanation of what has happened that I have read.
