Tea Bagger

Well there is now a new term thanks to the numerous tax day tea party demonstrations being held all over the country today. People who attend these tax day tea parties are now being referred to as tea baggers. I thought this was weird since I looked up tea bagger in the urban dictionary and its not a very flattering term. But now I guess it will change its meaning.

Tea-bagger’s are out all over the country demonstrating against the out of control spending happening in Washington. Many people think the tea baggers are all conservatives and this is a republican sponsored event, but after listening to news coverage of the events and the expressions of the tea baggers its clear that this is not about any political party its about the spending. Its about mortgaging our kid’s future for some short term gain. And its not even clear that the spending so far will really help any of the current economic problems we are facing.

I wish I had go off my but and attended one of the tax day tea parties today, but I did not so I guess I can’t call myself a tea bagger. Perhaps there will be more tea party events so I can become a tea bagger.

      UNLESS YOU’RE A MULTIMILLIONARE OR SUPER RICH,
      Why are you upset about paying taxes to ENSURE the future of this country?

      The right-wing in this country is dangerous and misinformative about generally
      everything; an uninformed public is less likely to stymie the ambitions of the
      exploiters and the rich in their crimes.

      As for the ‘Tea-baggers’, I believe you are all either perverts (see actual street
      definition) or idiots selling the future of this nation and your families for momentary greed and propaganda.

      THE REASON THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS THIS MONEY IS BECAUSE OF THE
      LAST EIGHT YEARS OF GOVERNANCE BY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY in which
      every government institution (excluding, of course, prisions and torture chambers) has been destabilized by the american aristocracy (ie. the wealthy)
      to the detrament of the general population.

      I await the onslaught of fallacies and personal slander from the ruling class and/or their minions.
