TEA = Taxed Enough Already.
If you live in the united states, then you can understand being taxed out the ass.
There is a tax for every thing. There are even taxes that you may not know about!?

Really We already have a shit load of consumption tax, do we really need Income Taxes too?
Then...
Over the summer, as we all know, republicans, conservatives, and everyone's 'honest' and most 'trustworthy' news organization, Fox News, tried to kill HCR. They tried at rallies, at town meetings, and even on the airwaves/internet. It came across to most moderates (the ones I've talked to at least), as be immature, uneducated, unintelligence, and un-American. And after all that crap, these people pulled, their efforts, F-A-I-L-E-D.
Now...
Some of them want to vote 'yes', but only if they can score some pork for their disctrict. That's right conservatives, its going on right now. The very people that said, they are opposed to pork spending of ANY kind, are taking bribes to get money for their district. No, it wont be in the actual act of the HCR, but in a month or a few. When none of you are looking or paying attention. They know, you conservatives are not a very educated or wise bunch to begin with.
Ten months of this bullsh;t, 11% unemployment, more and more taxes proposed, Iran on the fast track to nukes, and the best this Red House can do is attack Fox and talk radio, the ONLY voices challenging his royal highness's incompetence and hypocrisy.
Doesn't take a corporation's message to know Obama is a screw-up the people still know almost nothing about, including the IDIOTS who voted for him. Yeah. YOU.
Getting attention for real grassroots protests is a little more difficult.
Remember how the Iraq war attracted some of the largest protests in Washington of all time?
Yeah, me neither. I only read about them years later, because the TV machine told me war was inevitable, easy, and not at all about oil.
PS. damn I write weird long sentences when I am tired...
What is needed is reform across the board.
We can start with Ending the Federal Reserve, and repealing the Act that allowed that draconian organization/corporation to do whatever the hell it wants.
Simultaneously we can reform taxes, and thus reform health care.
Where there is corruption there is conformity, and fear. Those daring enough to avoid conformity will be labeled as heretics even if they are right.
Obama like every other POTUS is a hypocrite that much is proven by a Huge Embassy in Iraq, and the use of Signing statements to object to congress. Even though he stated he would not take that route.

On a side note, this will probably get me some flame, I find the banter between Netrunner, and QuantumMushroom to be typical of talking heads. I avoid reading anything by either of them because they are so far from the moderate standing that I cannot pain myself to read through either of their Partisan tripe. Its sort of like an unstoppable force meets the immovable object, and the rest of us are left here ducking for cover.
This is precisely the reason we have such a terrible system of governance. There is no real competition in our government because there are two parties, and when the third parties have to drum up millions of dollars to run for office that is hardly conducive to competition.
I will now step into my flame retardant suit, and I present you with a funny image.

Note that it was not my intention to spark a flame war between QuantumMushroom, Netrunner and or myself. Only to express my frustration with the two of them.

Ken and Daria Dolan are missing the point. The money doesn't go into someone else's pocket. It goes to someone else who then provides all kinds of shit for you. Want a gigantic armed force? Well, someone's gotta pay for it.
From Wikipedia:
For the 2009 fiscal year, the base budget of the Department of Defense rose to $518.3 billion. Adding emergency discretionary spending, supplemental spending, and stimulus spending brings the sum to $651.2 billion. Defense-related expenditures outside of the Department of Defense constitute between $274 billion and $493 billion in additional spending, bringing the total for defense spending to between $925 billion and $1.14 trillion in 2009.
