Tea Parties...

I seriously can't believe how people can believe that these tea-parties are not manufactured. It completely baffles me. The thing that really demonstrated this fact was seen in the interviews leading up to the tea-parties. Every person that came on in support of the parties plugged the word grassroots over and over. Almost like if they said it enough, it would become true. I mean, literally, they could be asked a question that had absolutely nothing to do with the tea-parties and they would find a way to mention the tea-parties and their "grassroots." That alone should be easy for people to see with little background knowledge.

Secondly, a vast majority of people in the protests are receiving a tax cut. So, when they come out and tell us to stop raising their taxes, WE AREN'T RAISING YOUR TAXES. Its amazing how ignorant people can be.

People had signs equating taxes to Socialism. I wish people would use a dictionary before they use words they are not familiar with. If you think taxes are the equivalent to Socialism, then you are a moron. There isn't a better way to say it. The Obama administration is rolling back the tax cuts to a Clinton-era level. Its even lower than the taxes were during the Reagan administration. So, are you all saying that we were living in a Socialist state under Reagan? That's what I thought.

People were also protesting taxes at all. They were saying all this garbage about how there should be no taxes at all. The hilarious part in all of this would have to be the fact that they were protesting in parks and public areas that are maintained with their taxes.

Also, it is disingenuous to argue that this protest was a grassroots movement. Fox News was plugging this protest every day. They literally were telling people where they were taking place, encouraging people to attend, and running ads about them. These events were sponsored by corporations. It was literally a protest arranged by the upper three percent of Americans who are getting tax hikes, and they are using the poor, uneducated masses to argue their case for them.
