I want a tea party! Can my dolls come?

Tea parties. Really?

First off, let's discuss the historic relevance. The Boston Tea party was protesting taxation without representation. Taxation by a government thousands of miles away that had no claim on your life. That is not the same thing as your party not being in power in a democratically elected government. NOT THE SAME.

Secondly, I don't agree with the amount of tax money that is going toward the war. I would much rather that money go toward social services to enrich the lives of EVERY American, rich or poor. BUT, our tax money going toward the war is not something that is new under this administration. The only thing that has changed is the transparency of the amount that is really going overseas. The fact that we are no longer ignorant of the amount does not suddenly make it an injustice.

Thirdly, If what you are protesting is your extremely high income being taxed at a higher rate than my extremely low income, shame on you. Your secretary should not carry the burden of taxes over you. You are not PRIVILEGED to any degree higher than that which your large amounts of money will buy you. You are not a special flower or royalty or any other grand illusion that you may have just because you are wealthy. What you are is what we poor people refer to as the "haves". This is not to say you should provide for the "have nots" we are just saying, do your freaking share. Because you certainly haven't been for the past eight years. If you can't find a way to "survive" on less than $100 or 200 THOUSAND a year then I suggest you live on my salary for a year. Might change your perspective a little.

Finally, these Tea Parties are nothing more than a horse and pony show. They are not a constructive use of your time in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week. Like all of the feeble Republicans these days you are not offering a solution to any problem, you are merely whining about it. You aren't accomplishing anything more than pissing liberals like me off. There is no great impact on society here. It is a waste of your resources and brain power. Why don't you use your powers for a greater good ... like solving the problem. Then, I will personally serve you the best Early Gray I can find.
