Cut THIS guy's Social Security and Medicare

Russ (I got mine, F*** you) Hall, 68, of Lawrence County, and other tea party supporters take part in the tax day rally in Market Square on Friday

The sticker on the top sign reads "Obama bin Lyin' IMPEACH NOW" but teabaggers are NOT racist.:eyes:

<snip>

The crowd included a couple dozen counter-demonstrators from the union-affiliated group Pittsburgh United, who were dressed in formal wear and quietly protested about tax cuts the tea party supported for corporations and top income brackets. "Tea Party: Thanks for believing ... anything," one of their signs said.

A brief and unrelated altercation occurred when a tea party activist tried to remove a worker for the United Steelworkers of America from behind the rally's stage.

Wearing a USW sweatshirt, the worker briefly argued with some in the crowd before leaving, holding her middle fingers in the air.

"It's a free country and I can stand here just like everybody else can stand here," said Lori Bookwood, of the USW political office, after leaving the rally. "The first thing that usually happens at a tea party event are the old men saying nasty to me because of their whole abortion thing, whether I agree with it or not ... Then when they find out I'm union it's a whole other story, and then when they find out I'm a single mom, I'm going to hell."



From left, Colin Anderson, 23, Julia Watkins, 24, Faith Auden, 19, and Zach Zobrist, 33, dress as billionaires at the tax day rally in Market Square on Friday. They said they were present to "thank" the tea party for its support in extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and maintaining plenty of tax loopholes for corporations and wealthy individuals.

The "BRAT" sign says Billionaires really appreciative of the Tea Party

Cut his benefits to the bone, if you can find it under the blubber.

4. I've argued that point with SS aged republicans (T-Party)
Edited on Sat Apr-16-11 11:44 AM by JohnnyRingo
They hate that under "Obamacare" people they don't like will be able to see a doctor on their precious tax dime. When I point out that they themselves are collecting taxpayer money they always claim they "earned it", and they "paid in" what they're collecting.

I always counter with the obvious, that they aren't going to stop collecting when the money they paid in is gone. Social Security isn't a savings account (thank goodness), it's socialism.
