Tea Party War Cry: I'm Mad and I Don't Want to Hear Your 'Facts'
This was a great little read about the tea party.

The Tea Party is REAL MAD. They're not sure why, but they'd like for the obscenely wealthy to get more tax breaks.
September 19, 2010 | AlterNet / By Will Durst



MAN OH MAN, I’M MAD.

Man oh man, I’m mad. I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore. Take what? I don’t know. And that makes me mad too. Angry. Riled up. Cranky. Irate. Livid. Bellicose. Splenetic. Which has something to do with the spleen. Think it involves leakage. Whatever it is, it can’t be good and I got it.

I’m mad at everything and everybody, but especially at career politicians. Not to mention career pediatricians. From now on, one of my kids gets sick, I’m taking them to see some incensed old coot straight off the street carrying a misspelled sign. Experience is way overrated. Why can’t US Senator be an entry- level position?

I’m mad about paying taxes. Because I don’t like paying taxes. I’m tired of my hard earned money wasted on silly things like roads and air traffic controllers and paramedics and pipeline inspectors. And flossing. I hate that too. Who needs teeth? Members of the lamestream media elite, that’s who. So they can lie through them. Those guys I’m mad at because they keep running stories about me being mad.

I’m mad at the government’s nit picking rules. Let corporations regulate themselves. They know what they’re doing. I’m mad because I have to work two jobs just to get by and I’m mad rich people don’t get more tax cuts. I’m mad about all the jobs that went overseas and I’m mad at unions demanding a living wage. I’m mad my life isn’t better than my parents’ and I’m mad I can’t have everything now and force my children to pay for it. And knowing I’m confused just fuels my maddening...

1. I hope you find some way through that.
Hopefully a more fair and equatable society.

I actually know how you feel, I was quite angry for awhile, still can reach that feeling if I want.

Maybe such inequality will be the catalyst to needed change. At some point the downward spiral will break itself, and things will get better.



On a side note, I am due beer and travel money and many good experiences, and felt mostly like that, although I don't reach out to the anger, however I been in that situation for almost a decade, so I hope you get some justice in your situation.


:hug:
