How to bankrupt the "Tea Party"
1) The next "tea partier" you encounter, ask them if they have 2 twenties for a ten.

2) Go to the bank and convert the 2 twenties into 4 tens.

3) Ask the next 4 "tea partiers" you encounter the same exact question.

4) Go to the bank and convert the 8 twenties into 16 tens.

5) Repeat.

They'll never know what hit'em.

1. Somehow I doubt this will work ...
you see, they may be stupid or ignorant, but when it comes to money, they're keen. I mean, they set up an impossible situation ... get rid of socialized/government health care, but don't take away THEIR Medicare ...

kinda like a reverse Rain Man ... they know how much a car and a candy bar cost ... but they can't do simple math or spelling ...

3. You could...
make up misspelled protest signs, go to their rallies and sell them to the people who don't have signs, take pics, post them here so we can laugh.

9. Obama didn't raise their taxes. Perhaps some of them don't understand money after all. ( n/t )

7. I think the best thing to do
would be to put some prozac in the tea. Honestly, I think it would go a long way to help some people, bless their angry old hearts.
