The Real Ron Paul Tea Partiers will NEVER accept this Neocon, infiltrating piece of trash, Sarah Palin.

Stand up Ron Paulers!

Keep exposing these Neocon Nazis hijackers and send Sarah Palin back to the post that she abandoned in Alaska!

Send them a message:

KICK EVERY NEOCON OUT OF CONGRESS!

Break the left/right paradigm

@jrwel14 You're right, I do wish that our government was not so complicated. Speaking of founding fathers I wish the neocon "tea party wannabes" would stop pushing their moral agenda because this is a "christian nation." The truth is the Puritans that settled here would be very unhappy with the amount of ankle Michelle Bachman is showing. It is widely believed that many of the founding fathers were in fact Deists including Thomas Paine. I do appreciate you calling out the neocon "tea baggers"

@strussad Back before 1913, the country wasn't that complicated as it is now. As, I have seen several comments from tea partiers,"Our founding fathers didn't have a gasoline tax."

@jrwel14 I think we did better before income tax was imposed in 1913. It was the bubble created by the federal reserve in the roaring 20's that popped creating that great depression. I would agree we are more successful with higher tax rates only because it better enables us to pay for a government that is so large it will eventually implode. All in all I say I agree with you, but I just want to say it would be better to have a smaller government that would require less tax revenue to operate :)

@strussad This country has done better on higher taxes as a whole than low ones. 35% is the third lowest in history. Late 1920s was 25%. 1929 was 24%. Late 1980s at 28%. early 1990s a depression. Don't have to say what happened in 1929-1930. Or, the economy now!

@jrwel14 I agree with the spending cuts, but a "fair tax" or flat tax where high earners would pay more without actually "raising" taxes. Cut the tax loop holes! A consumption tax targets those that spend more, while rewarding savings and fiscal responsibility. If we'd end this wasteful foreign policy we'd have a surplus. To which I would consider having dollars flow back into the states (albeit with a little welfare reform to prevent abuse, and stop exploiting incentives.)

Rachel was very objective to Ron Paul, I respect that. I wish her well exposing neocons everywhere, grassroots conservatives will win!
