TEABAGGERS ARE ASTROTURF PUPPETS OF FASCIST CORPORATIONS
I was one lonely counter-protester, let me tell you for sure!
There was about 3 TP chartered busses and I was suprised so many mistook me for an agent of George Soros.
in the belly of the beast kinda like a "will work for food" hunter thompson. days later I learned why the term "teabaggers" should not be used in polite society.

What other entities or corporations are required to fully fund their pension obligations seventy five years in advance?
Besides the Post Office?
I cannot comprehend any enterprise accumulating so much cash just to have it lay dormant for three quarters of a CENTURY?
To me "privatization" simply means corrupt crony capitalism and a handful of greedy sociopaths suddenly doubling the price of their goods or services simply because they can?
Gov't IS NOT A BUSINESS AND SHOULD NOT BE RUN LIKE ONE.
And I would not be surprised if the republics are currently fashioning legislation to make the U.S. Armed Forces become a PROFIT MAKING ENTERPRISE. Would be nice to "shock and awe" the Saudi Royal Family into turning over all their oil to the USA!
