someone put crazy pills in my tea

so today people—who apparently have more money than time—protested all across the country against what they consider to be “extreme socialistic-type taxation” by the Obama administration.

even before i can right a word, you must know that there are so many things wrong with that thought that it makes my head hurt and all i want to do is pull my hair until i forget that these people even exist.

ok…

first of all, if you think that america is becoming “socialist” b/c of the slight tax increase on the wealthiest of americans, then i’m sorry, we just don’t even live in the same universe, more-less speak the same language and it would take technology light-years ahead of our own for us to even understand each other.

secondly, these bat-shit-crazy-heroes had to utilize at least a dozen different public services just to get to their respective protest. I’m talking about the roads they drove in on, the police who kept an eye on their craziness, the postal service they used to mail out their literature and the colleges they could have attended had they ever had any intellectual fuck curiousity.

hey! not so fast asshole, that stuff costs money. ya know how a government gets money? from people paying their fair-share-fuck-tax!

i’m going to pause mid-thought for a second to point out that these intellectual-giants drove to their protest with bumperstickers that read “support the troops“. so…the iraq war costs no less than 2,000 MILLION dollars per day. again, ya know how the military gets that money? from people paying their god-fuck-taxes!

finally, does it really surprise anyone that the first time these highly-convicted-citizens got off their lazyboy recliners and flipped off “Hanity” long enough to take a stand for anything it was to rally around the banner of taxes and the all mighty dollar?

i, for one, am glad that the conservative crowd has finally found a cause worth their time…afterall, time is money.

    YOU ARE SO RIGHT! These people crying socialism are blind idiots who are ignorant to what the Boston Tea Party even stood for. We just got done working on tax reform in New York State and actually got something called the Fair Share Tax Reform (or something like it) passed in this years budget. It increases taxes on those who make over 500,000 a year. For this, the entire NY conservative media circus has turned its attention on us…accusing us of class warfare…which is pretty awesome! http://fairsharereform.com/page/s/20k/ <–fun and informative video :)

    I'm glad you blogged about this, it has been bothering me all day
