No,I am only a free thinker and tend to see certain things clearly that others dont.When you have reached a certain level of learning and have enough intellect you realize what a lie surrounds you and that you even were a part of it.I now know why the Soviet intellectuals were so dangerous to the Soviet Union.I am in their shoes and yet dont face their risks. As to the Tea Party,they have a sense of what is wrong but miss a great detail.Most of them are probably getting much more in benefits than they pay in taxes.In a recent post I calculated that the bottom 50% of Americans pay less than 50% of their inflation adjusted future Social Security payments and less than 20% of their medicare benefits and no Federal tax towards defense or anything else.I think, if they realized this ,one half would fade out of the Tea Party and the other half would take it on the chin and accept whatever pain came their way to get government off their back In regards to Wall Street,the articles attached to that last post explain better than I can that they are blood sucking parasites.Bankers and Finance types should be tight fisted old men.No useful technology or production has or ever will come from WAll Street If I were President I would addd a 10% VAT and $2 a gallon gas tax my first day in office and balance the books.I would then adjust these up or down with the publics wishes.They would realize they have to pay for what they get and make the decision.Doesnt sound like Tea Party to me
