"I want to take care of myself"

[SocialistLez]

So on April 15th ALL the local news stations had something on the Tea Party folks.

One woman brought her two daughters and said she didn't want other people's tax dollars supporting her. "I want to take care of myself," she said.

How much you wanna bet her two daughters go to public schools?


:banghead: I'm so sick of these people's idiocacy getting a free ride from the media.

1. She built the road from her home to the event?

She does her own weather forecasting?

She has training in emergency medicine and first aid?

If her home catches fire, she can put it out all by herself?

She'd howl like a banshee if any of these services weren't immediately available.

One thing worse than a hypocrite; that's a stupid hypocrite.

2. I started to bring up the roads, among other things. NT

9. Sadly the conservatives bought the Raygun lie, they only use services that they paid for with their

own tax dollars. They have a problem with the bundle concept and think that what they put into the system is exactly the same amount or more then what they use. They bought the Raygun lie that welfare queens paid nothing into the tax system, forgetting that if they spent money on food or on goods they not only were paying local and state taxes, they were also buying products that workers made keeping them in a job. 3/4th of the nit wits haven't a clue on how much their lives are dependent on other folks, they believe its still the 1800's were a man could go out to a wilderness and live according to the way he wanted, another Raygun lie.

3. Fine. The kids can go to private schools.

When they go to college she can pay the $30K+/year tuition to a private college, or they can get student loans from a private bank; no government-guaranteed loans for them.

She can travel on her private roads and walk on her private sidewalks.

She can ride in her private plane (flown by a pilot without an FAA license, of course) from her private airport without the aid of federal air traffic controllers or navigation aids.

If her house catches fire she can put the fire out herself.

If she's the victim of a crime she can catch the perp herself, and put him in her own private jail.

She can inspect and test her own air and water and consumer products to be sure they're safe to use.

*sigh*

4. I want her to take care of her own damn self too.

if she'd stay off the fucking socialist I-75 I could get to work a lot faster.

5. That is a key point

They think if the taxes and regulations are cut and business is allowed to "flourish", then owners would make a bunch of money and pay their workers and then their workers wouldn't have to go on food stamps.

What they refuse to grasp is that most business won't do anything they aren't forced to do by law, or the union.

8. They don't factor in the H-1B visa workers

13. They don't factor in anything

They'll argue that the corporation has to put the shareholder first because it's the law, but still not grasp that that means they are nothing but another cost to be cut to the bare bone. They have been raised to believe they're worth nothing and have to accept whatever crumbs they get.

6. Does she take those dependent exemptions when she files taxes?

I'm guessing she does. Ah, well...another example of how those TPers simply don't get it!

Sigh...

7. aww, I feel so sorry for her that she can't move to Somalia

or can she? what kind of immigration rules does Somalia have?

10. Idiocy ALWAYS gets a free ride from the media!

After all, it's entertaining! Think Nero+fiddle+fire+Rome!

11. What kills me too is that these people had no problem whatsoever

when GWB & his cabal invaded a foreign county to set up a government similar to ours. Our government foisted upon another country was just fine & dandy then.

12. Excuse the misspelled word. It's IDIOCY. Whoops.

14. i doubt a tea-bagger's children go to public schools

they allow black people to attend the public schools and around here that's all you need to convince the racist fucktards to attend private

even those who pretend they are not racist will say something like, "i can't do a social experiment w. my children" to justify the private school
