Florida Republican, 71, Arrested For Penny Attack On Democratic Party Office

[LTR]

A Florida man is facing a misdemeanor
charge after he went to a Democratic Party
headquarters and threw a penny at workers
there, claiming that the change was "all he
has left after being taxed by Obama,"
cops report.

The protest Friday evening ended with the
arrest of Gary Root, a 71-year-old Naples
man (and registered Republican). Root,
seen in the adjacent mug shot, was
charged with trespassing at the Collier
County office where he offered his
impromptu donation.

According to a Collier County Sheriff's
Office report, Root explained to deputies
that he "tossed in a penny as a
contribution as that's all he has left after
being taxed by Obama."

Another teabagger who failed both logic and math.

1. Elect Romney and lose your SS and Medicare, then you're fucked.

[Politicalboi]

3. Oh no

But he's protected. Rmoney is going to screw everyone else, not the ones on SSI and Medicare now.

5. I have two thoughts on that...

People past 55 who will vote R because they get to keep their SS and Medicare: a hearty Fuck You from everyone under 55.

Second, how stoopid can they be to believe that? The Rs will come up with some reason that they have to take it away from everyone. I think the term is bait and switch...!

14. All they mean is that they are putting off stealing it today

tomorrow is another story.
They need to work up some lies as to why they need to steal it from the old folks too.

11. Make sure someone tells him that donation is not tax deductible!

12. A predictable consequence actually.

Creating weird displays in public are inevitable.

[Oilwellian]

13. Idiot

Obama lowered his taxes.

15. I doubt he's actually broke...

At least not because of his taxes. If he is broke, it is probably because of his own poor choices.
