I think it is much, much more important that Exxon pays no U.S. income taxes than that a few racists are marching on Washington. Wrong again. On Exxon's record earnings in 2008, Exxon paid record taxes. Why lie?

>>I think it is much, much more important that Exxon pays no U.S. income taxes than that a few racists are marching on Washington.<< i agree. the corporate elite are looting us commoners and every other problem is a distant second. having said that, your level of prejudice is astounding. >>I said that they are a bunch of scum buckets.<< i have news for you. "all" of any big group aren't one thing. people are complex. all blacks aren't [fill in the blank] all jews aren't [fill in the blank] all investors aren't [fill in the blank] i disagree with some of their issues, too, but i don't ad hominem and slime them. i think they are naive and most will end up as republican tools and allow the looting to continue. it is amazing to me that you trash the entire tea party and make corporate theft your big issue when it is corporatist obama and the democratic congress that are responsible for the corporate give-aways. it was the democrats who stood up and lied on behalf of these same corporations when they claimed children with pre-existing conditions were covered by their bill immediately - when they weren't. yet you are mad at the tea partiers and feel good about the real cause of the problem - the phony two party puppet system. this is why falling for their propaganda is dangerous. all your anger toward the tea party won't change anything and actually works to protect the real corporatist criminals. i don't support a controlled party in a controlled system, rather, i work to fix a badly broken system by first, and foremost, ending the debt backed money scam that is systematically looting everyone and the parasitic financial corporatists that gain from asset stripping "We, The People." swarmusa.com is an attempt to do this. yes, some tea partiers support its goals. as do some republicans, independents and democrats. it isn't about team, it is about ideals that benefit americans, not the elites.

Knighty, the biggest problem facing your world view that big government helps the downtrodden and needy is that government debt has tripled in the last few years and the poor are growing at astounding rates. 39 million on food stamps. and growing. you'd think that government would borrow to take care of the poor and needy, right? you are simply wrong. they tripled the debt to bail the richest owners of exxon out. and goldman sachs. and deutche bank. and jp morgan. and GE. this isn't debatable, this is what government did. Big Brother, brother. imagine what $1 trillion could have done for the poor and needy. not gonna know - the billionaire bankers stole it! bush and obama were the pitch men. yes, this is criminal and the elites want to misdirect your anger to something other than themselves and their crimes against america. apparently, they are very good at propaganda as it fools so many people. obama and the dems are giving the national house over to the uber rich (richest owners of exxon) and you complain about tea partiers, a group you admit have no real power. how about focusing on the looting by those with power? oh noes! that's your team doing the looting now! i wish it weren't so, i wish there were good guys... but reality is reality.
