We received an email asking if our tea party members are open to criticism. It’s time for you to comment.
“ Two questions for members of the so-called “Tea Party” movement:
First, where do you even get off using that name? To identify yourselves with the Boston Tea Party is delusional. That demonstration protested taxation without representation. You have representation. In the 2008 election each of you had the same vote I did. And after having it your way for eight disastrous years, you lost.
Secondly, in the midst of raving hysterically against “big government,” have you ever stopped to think who else is going to defend you against corporate plutocracy? Case in point: If you actually informed yourselves, you’d support health care reform instead of spreading paranoid fantasies about “government takeover of health care.” If one day you suffer a catastrophic illness and lose your home and life savings after being ripped off by your health insurance company, you’ll be getting what’s coming to you.”
3/6/10 – We do not have representation when senators like Harkin do not respond to our calls, letters or emails and will not hold a town hall meeting in our area. When politicians take from us our money, our choices in services we buy and run our businesses by stringent regulations, while these laws do not apply to themselves – then they are not one of us and they do not represent us.
We did not have our way for eight years although there is some truth to the disastrous aspect.
Corporate plutocracy does not concern me nearly as much as socialism and the lack of recognizing Natural Law in our country.
Do you believe the government will protect your home and life savings more than these corporations will? At least the corporations realize their survival depends on citizens being able to buy and spend. The government realizes it grows when citizen’s are oppressed. When you turn over your right of pursuit of happiness to the government for the sake of a little security, then you will get what’s coming to you. You and your children’s children. dvm
