and also can we please just put away the race card for good? Middle age, middle class white men endure the most prejudice in the country. That is a fact
These people aren't against being taxed. These people are like my parents that work near 12 hour days 6 days a week and still get 3/4 of their income taxed. Sure if it was helping people out but hell they probably spend half the taxes trying to figure out how to spend it. So that people that don't want to go to work can get away from it. I can't agree with the saying "want to piss off a liberal? get a job" not that right wing is much better but at least they support the working class more
Dumbass midwestern Republicans. No problem paying your ass off for wars, but hell if you're going to give a penny for any social programs in America. Then what? The sick, the poor, the handicapped all starve or go to prison...no skin off your back, right? Yeah, well just wait until it happens to YOU. That'll change your mind.
@didyouseethatlight Are you really that ignorant? They're mad that the social programs help the wrong sort of people, those who don't wish to make this country better, or themselves. They want free handouts and those who work hard dont want to pay lazy people their hard earned money. You are nothing but a disrespectful, misinformed, uninformed liberal.
hey you know whats funny? You people voted those "dummies" into congress and the senate. Bitch and complain all you want, there is nothing you can say that will make people of power change their minds. One day everybody will figure out all politicians are the SAME. They can say one thing and do another.
this breaks my heart to see this, i just do not understand the absolute ignorance of some of these protesters. it seems to me that they want the best of both worlds: lower taxes and a functioning country
all i see here is a crowd of confused people who for one reason or another are ignoring the 'elephant in the room' - poverty! The bail out dosn't mean socialism. All credible socialists who believe in redistribution of wealth opposed the bail out. Noam Chomsky famously derided such bail outs as 'socialism for the rich'. These people ignore the long history of the ideology of Libertarian Socialism.... educate yourselves!
Wasteful spending during President Obama's first 100 days far exceeded past spending. There were many concerned about Bush's Wall Street bailout. You must not have been listening then.
You keep trying to turn this into a racial issue but that is a non sequitur. Sales taxes in Kansas nearly doubled in the last 25 years. Government spending at local, state, and national levels is out of control with a lot of wasteful spending.
I am sorry that you have felt prejudice and bigotry.
During Bush (wasteful spending) years, the same people said absolutely NOTHING.
I personally encountered racism, predudice and bigotry in living in Johnson & the surrounding communities.
With Obama doing his best to restoring our economy, the timing of these protests is quite peculiar, but hardly surprising. Johnson County is definitely "Russ Limbaugh territory."
Johnson County is one of the richest counties per capita in America. Family oriented/majority white community. (Nice people). But, the same people who readily grasp the need to invest in their kid's college educ, suddenly pretend like they don't understand the benefits in investing in America for the future.
Truth: Most high school & college students kids there drive better cars than their teachers and professors.
Hard to swallow all the whining and complaining shown here. =/

I go to college there!
Don't agree with these people though. Gov't is the spender of last resort, stimulus kept the economy going.

WHEN WILL OBAMA end the wars?
The war protesters were really just Bush haters.
Clinton didn't and Obama won't......END.....homelessness. Obama is yet to say one word about homeless people.
