#3 Tea Parties



In America, when Conservatives want to bind together and vent their deep rooted racial frustrations, they often will have what's called a "tea party." If you make more than $250,000 a year or are a family making greater than $500,000 a year, then you most likely will have to pay a higher percentage of taxes than others making less. To conservatives this is quite simply unacceptable.

The idea of a Tea Party is very symbolic. In 1773, forefathers violently protested in what would become known as the "Boston Tea Party." The protest centered around the unfair taxation of tea imports from Great Britain. Many within the English Colonies believed that is was tyrannical to impose taxes on the Colonies without proper colonial representation in Parlilment. Hence the phrase, "No taxation without representation." Conservatives interprut this phrase as, "No taxes." Or "I don't think I should pay taxes." Later translations in rural Conservative America have read, "Why should I pay for your welfare check?" Ironically we paid for our own Revolutionary War with taxes. Ever since, America has funded much of its growth from taxes. To a conservative, this is no longer essential and is of course Socialism. Over the past 16 months, the Federal Government has spent more money than ever before. In October of 2008, this started with expensive "big bank" bailouts designed to assist powerful conservatives. This all came to a head when America was asked to fund for a better health care system that would expand coverage to the uninsured. As already revealed in the first post (Paying For Health Care), this is unAmerican and socialist. All conservatives know that it is important to continue to pay for healthcare, otherwise we would be no different than a pussy European nation.

What's the solution? Tea Party like it's 2009! Tea Parties have rivatalized long gone white angst, supressed selfishness, and mental retardation. If attending a Tea Party, it's important to understand that the agenda is unclear at best. As seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fevga9jUC48
