Chinu Not totally following how you got to the tea party from what Ted posted but I get tired of this class warfare bs.(politics). Sessions may be referring to that about 1/2 of our population pays no income tax and everyone should shoulder some of the burden. Rather than focus on the class warfare and tax the rich politics, we ought to be working for tax reform-(I prefer a flat tax with little to no deductions) which could help with the solution and not kill the politicians that support it. Re; Tea Party It is being an anarchist because you want your country's government to behave in a fiscally responsible means and it doesnt listen? They are radicals because they are unhappy that our government is spending way beyond its means? They are fascists because they dont support a nanny state- that individuals should be give opportunity to succeed or fail? They are racists because they want the govt to do one of the jobs they are actually chartered to do- protect our borders? Many on this thread are fearful of the movement because it is a populist rising of ordinary folk and much of what they are saying speaks to ordinary folk. From my point of view the majority of people from the tea party are ordinary, normally non political people that are frustrated with the way things have been going and are continuing to go. Sure there are some nuts and politicians trying to hijack it for their own purposes but the movement arose from ordinary people being frustrated with the status quo. You ought to ask yourself why their message resonates with so many people and go after the core issues upsetting these formally non political people. Instead, let's verbally destroy these people through the press. -" make them out like whackos and crazies and facists."
