It is hard to imagine that in just two hundred years, Tea Day is no longer about controlling corporate monopoly, but has become a bunch of sore losers, who can only play the one trump card in their deck - Taxes! Imagine the founding mothers/fathers protesting taxes that will support the nation, its people, and its infrastructure? Are some so blindly partisan, that helping America is now a bad thing?
While the nation sank in debt, started a wasteful illegal war, gave tax relief to the wealthy, and allowed our infrastructure to collapse as jobs and work went overseas, these so called modern patriots were doing what exactly? Does anyone know? Has anyone seen anything on FOX ‘pretend to be news’ about any issues that affect average Americans? I hear average Americans watch it?
Yogi said it best, ‘deja vu all over again.’ When political power is challenged, the armies of naysayers appear everywhere telling you how bad the current democrat is and yet I ask again, where were they when the roots of all this started. Roots I place in ideas and theories that started to gain too much power when Reagan won election. And yet Reagan (see below) eventually realized the policies were not working, and reversed course, raising taxes.
So we have a choice do we protest the things that help all Americans, or do we, as the sore losers do, bring taxes up again and again and again, and let the country deteriorate, as it did these past eight years? Which is it.
