I dare you to try and actually discuss an issue instead of just name-calling.

Really, go ahead.

Also just a heads up, the people below 35k a year totals 40%+ of the income of the United States

That's because the 10% that makes 92k+ a year still are a larger group in monetary terms than the sub 30k group. If you figure that 30 million makes 92k, then you would need to tax 100million people making 30k a year, except you can't because there aren't that many people making that amount. Essentially it's more cost effective- besides, if you're making 92k a year, even if you lose half of it you still would make more than the poor sods who make only 30k wouldn't you?

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined about paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

I really like Chip Rogers. I am so glad that he is bringing up how our country came about.

It sad that a little rain keeps the rabid Fox fans away from a tea bagging event
