We don't just want to be taxed less. We want to be taxed less by a white person
Bill Maher 4/16:

What a day for the Tea Party people. Did you see that? America's parks and fairgrounds were lost in a sea of man-boobs. As they were venting their anger and rage against taxes, which in most cases for them went down. Protesting, their taxes went down. Why let the truth spoil a perfectly good Klan rally?

It's true, it's true. These are the facts. Federal taxes went down for 98 percent of people -- working families, individuals, almost everybody.

But when asked about this, only 12 percent of the teabaggers thought this was the case. Eighty-eight percent of them were wrong. A spokesman for the tea parties said 'We don't just want to be taxed less. We want to be taxed less by a white person.

..."It's not taxes they hate. It's reading."

"In a related story about reading, Sarah Palin -- yesterday she got an iPad, and she was complaining that it's not really that absorbent."


:rofl:

1. if they were in parks and fairgrounds, did they not see the irony of using venues whose care
and upkeep are funded by tax dollars?

2. Irony is lost on these people. Otherwise they would realize that a LOT of their
stances are ironic. They are basically protesting with no understanding of the very issues they are so upset about. It's ridiculous.

3. Hell we have tax cut deniers right here on DU
Of course we have LaRouchies here too so I guess that isn't too startling.
