TEABAGGING RECAP- Utter Failed Display of Ignorance and LOW Attendance-VIDEO :)

[tu_holmes]

Compared to what?

What did they expect millions and millions of people who are busy working taking the day off???

The only people usually who have time to do that dont work in the first place.  Think Sharptons' usual rent-a-mob.

If you're jobless, then you don't really have to pay taxes right?

So why are these jobless people who don't pay taxes complaining?

[tonymctones]

God damn, you are nothing but a arrogant wikipedia posting fucktard. You wil be one of the last people to wake up.

^hahahah this^

Listen Dude.  Please stop confusing the Republican whining with little facts.  Facts do not penetrate their little fantasy bubble anyway.

It depends.  If you declare a lot of exemptions and lose your job you still have to pay taxes on the income you received when you file. 

Additionally, I believe UE is taxable, but I am not sure.

[shootfighter1]

They still have to deal with property taxes, sales tax, tax on gas, food, cigarettes/alcohol and wherever else they bake in taxes that we don't know about.  No doubt federal income tax is the biggest though.

Hahaha! Yup. I think this is why democrat rallies always draw more than repub rallies. The repubs are all at work.

Except these guys who decided to show up yesterday... Apparently they don't even feel the need to look for jobs.

Obama once came to Denver and over 100,000 people showed up in Denver alone.  True Story.

Everything has a beginning. Yes today over 5,000 showed up in Denver. Next year it may be 10,000, the year after that may be 100,000.  You just took this one snap shot in time and judged the protest based on the amount of people at the event compared to another one and deemed it a failure.

 This wasn't a competition to see who could get more people out of their homes. No one at the rally's thought they were going to change the world, they went to express their feelings publicly and in that way they were very successful.



protest: an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid

[body88]

Who cares how many people showed up?  Their message was carried by every news program in the country.  All the political/radio stations...newspapers, tv, the web.   It even showed up on the polotics board of a fucking bodybuilding website.  Mission accomplished. 

I hate to compare this to marketing, but lets say you plan an event for a local retailer.....you expect large numbers of consumers to show up to this event but the actual turnout is low......however, for whatever reason, every major news outlet in the country picks up your story and that story then exposes your product (message in this case) to tens of millions of people.  Total success.  The objective of a protest is to gain attention to spark change.  I would think these people got plenty of that from secondary coverage.

It's always nice to know that the obvious doesn't go over everbody's head. True Anus is too involved in the details to look at the situation as a whole.

Very true body 88, great point.  The message has gotten out and perhaps people will start listening more closely to the spending that is going on in this administration.  Unfortunately, they waited 8 yrs too long!

Exactly... You can't talk only about this administration... You have to mention how much Bush spent.

[Soul Crusher]

I have no problem with that.  Bush was a fiscal drug addict and disaster. 

[tu_holmes]

So the question is, why did none of these people come out before now?

They weren't  tired of paying taxes all of these years? They weren't tired of the spending?

Where were they before Obama?

Because Obama has spent and proposed in less than 100 days what took Bush 8 years to do.

I guess its like the boiling frog analogy.

No... Obama is just being honest about what he believes is required, where Bush just wrote checks at will.

[Soul Crusher]

Even the CBO is against what he is proposing and saying it is based on numbers that simply dont add up.

So you trust Congress now?

You didn't before... Sounds like it's just because they're disagreeing with Obama.

It's funny how everyone blames Bush for the financial disaster we're in..but if anyone bothers to do any fact checking they would know under the Clinton administration, there were policies enacted that basically forced banks and mortgage companies to make loans to people with terrible credit, terrible income history. These were the initial steps that led to the credit crisis. For some reason, the left seems to prioritize the rights of lowlifes, illegal aliens, terrorists and criminals over those of productive , successful U.S. citizens. Can someone explain to me why they would align themselves with a party that does that?

And therein lies the point of these tea parties. As I've said multiple times, while Obama certainly didn't start this fire, he's the one dumping gas on it.

He's making a bad situation even worse, spending more in 8 weeks than Bush did in 8 years . He's signing thousand-plus-page, multi-billion bills, loaded with swine, without even reading the darn things.

Not to mention, he's giving permission to bank execs to pay themselves million-dollar bonuses with bailout money; yet, he has the nerve to get steamed when they actually do it.

To quote another tea party sign, "I don't care who started the spending, I JUST WANT IT TO STOP!!!"

Ok, so under Reagan we started to accumulate the massive debt we have today.

Wanna blame Reagan too?

It's not the debt that caused the financial meltdown..it was the massive accumalation of bad loans that under leftist policies, were given to millions of uncreditworthy people. These loans, which never had a chance of repayment were packaged into investment vehicles, and imploded after the real estate bubble began to burst. All I'm saying is..it wasn't George Bush that forced the mortgage industry to loan money to losers.

No, but he had a nice State of the Union that pressured the banks into do it more.

Go back to the 70's...

You know what's a hoot?  It's when someone tries to pin the housing meltdown on the backs of poor-middle class people and gov. programs that might help them.

Sorry man, it just didn't happen the way you described it.  Your summary is deadwrong.

It wasn't fucking poor people who caused this problem.  Massive mortgage securitizationand exotic/subprime mortgages paved the way.  Mortgage refinancing, deregulated lending and elimination of fraud oversight laws led to the housing debacle.

Collateralized Debt Obligations & Credit Default Swaps spread the virus to every mutual fund/REIT on earth.

All because there was not enough regulation and no enforcement of existing regulation to quell the hysterical greed.

Something for nothing.  The same shit that happened with the S & L scandal under Bush I.
