If anyone is interested I have found the anti-taxes, anti-big gubment teabaggers soft spot

[NNN0LHI]

I was at a restaurant yesterday where there was about half a dozen of them going on about cutting SS, Medicare, Food Stamps and any other federal government program they could think of. I let them go on for a while.

Then I said to them how about we try and do something about these huge property taxes here in Illinois?

It was liked I farted or something. Everything got real quiet. No one would say anything. Then I realized all these guys either had a family member or are themselves drawing a paycheck or a pension from the state, county or municipal government here in Illinois. They didn't want to hear about any tax relief for homeowners. That would entail cuts in their own benefits.

These same assholes will sit back and blame the Dems for all the federal programs and their taxes they have to pay for them, But don't suggest cutting property taxes to them. Nope, no way do they want those taxes cut. Because it effects them personally.

Try it on one some day. Works like a charm.

1. My brother, his wife,

their three kids, and his BIL all work for different government agencies in some capacity, and they all piss and moan about big gummint out of control and too much taxation - yet it's their very same source of income.

I shake my head...................

5. my sister and BIL are both teabaggers - whine about 'socialism' - BUT

they're living on SS disability and SS. Go figure. Pfft. In my sister's defense, she hates politics and just believes whatever her husband (who is an absolute dimwit obviously) tells her to. Not much of a defense but there it is.

6. Sounds like my wife's brother -

Age 67, collects SS, Medicare, lives in state subsidized housing apartment in FL, whines constantly about taxes and government programs.

It's beyond me.

2. The teabaggers' soft spot is the empty space between their ears. Even when you point out a factual

truth to them, it is ignored. They cannot be reasoned with - to do so only wastes your time.

The solution, as with racism, will only come when they are all dead and buried.

Anything that hastens that day is to be applauded. So put your effort into that and stop wasting time trying to logically argue with them or appeal to their (non-existent) humanity.

4. I don't believe this is a waste of time...

I could be somone else might overhear and it is possible they might just need to hear that somone is doing something....There are a awful lot of desperate people out there....Hope is somtimes all they have.

3. Every government program is a waste.

Except, of course, for the ones that benefit me. Duh.

7. Mentioning cutting Defense works too.

As the Defense budget is still on a cold war footing. NOT streamlined to fight an insurgent War. (special forces type)

Just to twist the knife a bit, I also add "It is corporate Welfare Laundered through the Defense department republicans get wealthy on."

you can hear a pin drop after that statement, every time.
