Tea Party Comments from the Mudflats Blog This is a C&P from the Mudflats Blog. It is a spot on commentary of the current state of affairs based on the most recent data. But let’s talk about the average Tea Partier holding a sign that says Taxed Enough Already. With Tax Day again upon us, two story lines will predictably dominate the media coverage on April 15th. In their perpetual war on taxes, conservatives will claim that rates are too high even as those Americans who receive tax credits get “welfare.” Meanwhile, frothing-at-the-mouth Tea Partiers will protest about being “Taxed Enough Already.” Sadly, the numbers tell a different tale. After a decade of the Bush tax cuts, it’s clear that only one side is fighting ‒ and winning ‒ the class war. As for the Tea Baggers, they aren’t merely, as Jon Stewart suggested last year, “confusing tyranny with losing.” They are confused about so much more. Here, then, are 10 Inconvenient Truths for Tax Day: 1.Over 95% of Working Households Got Tax Cuts 2.Only 2% of Tea Baggers Know Obama Cut Their Taxes… 3.…and 52% of Tea Partiers Think Their Taxes are Fair… 4.…and Think the Federal Tax Level is Over Double What It Is 5.1% of Families Earned 24% of All Income… 6.…and 57% of All Capital Income 7.400 Richest Taxpayers Saw Incomes Double, Tax Rates Halved 8.Only 1 in 500 Families Pay the Estate Tax 9.Corporate Taxes Have Plummeted as a Share of GDP • The U.S. Loses $345 Billion a Year to Tax Evasion and Fraud |

It is like watching the classic panic response of rats in a maze and there is no cheese at the end of the tunnel. The problem is this crowd of lemmings is like the old London Lee joke about the crowd in the subway carrying a dead man along from station to station. As they sweep to the cliffs we may all be swept away.

No, that's right, you didn't...you had never heard of him until he ran for President. Neither had most of us. I just filled your water bottle. Have a sip.

I am not sure of the mean income but Tea Party members tend to be well to do and pay lower taxes than they claim. The most interesting thing to me is that the signature issue is taxes and they have the information completely wrong.

The justification for turning over congress is out of control government and the benchmark for out of control government is taxes. Or maybe it has changed again? When Tea Party members are asked if they wanted Social Security or Medicare eliminated they changed their minds. I agree we should all be here for the party. IN the Federalist Paper the original intent was for the House of Representatives to continue to grow with the population so that each member of the House would represent 35,000 to 50,000 citizens. The House was frozen at its current size in a blatantly racist anti-immigrant maneuver in 1926.

How ironic that you would speak of anyone OTHER than the Obama fans as a "crowd of lemmings." Did you have tears in your eyes as he spoke to the masses? Did you thank God at night that your man had finally made the big time? No, that's right, you didn't...you had never heard of him until he ran for President. Neither had most of us.
