> It seems sort of funny that the Tea Party seems interested only in dismantling wasteful government spending /on the poor/ and completely disinclined to abolish government programs that benefit them. Go figure.

That is absolutely NOT TRUE. And the rest of it was backwards in the real world of the United States today. The Tea Party movement was born during the Bush bailouts, a total waste of our money and collective credit as taxpayers, in the high billions. That was free money for BIG CORPORATE moguls, and they were totally supported by DEMOCRATS, including the most leftist guy in the Senate at the time, candidate Obama.
Then under Obama the Dems continued this shameless giveaway of money to favorite companies and big corporations under the so-called “Stimulus” bills, one after another! That’s why the populace was outraged.
Never mind even that I STAYED OUT because the housing market was so crazy. But even there, why should you take my money by force to pay the mortgage of guys like the one that bought one I was renting, and defaulted in less than five months. Why should my money pay his mortgage?
What the Tea Party uprising was protesting in 2009 was the FREE MONEY that the BIG RICH MONEYBAGS were getting! They were mad!
And it’s real funny that DemonRats in the media always conveniently leave that out and keeping talking like they’re just against the poor, when they themselves have defended welfare for the richest band of thieves on the planet, starting with Goldman Sachs!
They got even more mad with the outrageous lies being told about the Health Care thing. Lying in our faces saying if you like it you can keep it (companies are dropping health coverage or lowering coverage), costs will go down (they went up), and supposedly surrendering the “public option” (caught on tape earlier admitting they woudn’t get it right away but it will eventually be the only one), denying the “death panels” (now its supporters are admitting to it).
They’re angry at the lack of transparency, secret money –stolen from us (without representation or direct oversight)– going to secret rich fat cats.
This is what gave Tea Party grassroots such ire.
False-flag Dems that so hypocritically hide their blatant corruption and free money for their rich moneybags patrons behind the skirts of the poor give special fits to some of us who know that the best thing you can do for the poor is to let them have incentive to fly free.
That’s compassion. If you help a butterfly struggle out the cocoon by snipping it open, you doomed the poor thing to a quick floundering death because it somehow has to have that toning to be able to fly.
A mother eagle doesn’t leave the eaglets in the nest bringing the poor things good because they can’t fly. When it comes of age, the mother eagle starts making the nest uncomfortable and finally even maybe some thorns come in, then it starts pushing that little one into the air.
You don’t really help anybody if you give him a fish for one meal, you’ve heard the story. You teach him how to fish.
Obama was spouting total nonsense when he said he didn’t know anybody that would prefer an unemployment check over a job. He’s from what area in Chicago?
If he does not know anybody like that, it’s because all his friends are RICH and socialists who even deny such a person exists to your face.
Compassion for the poor is giving your own life for them, your own money, out of your own pockets. Joining the ganging up on people you think have more than you to take somebody else’s money and giving that to the poor is a selfish conscience salve.
