26. Poor, white and Republican Tea Partiers

Wed Feb 15, 2012, 07:37 AM

Feb 2012

My first thoughts about a poor person of any ethos being part or a supporter of the Republican Tea Party is the definition of oxymoron.

When the Republican Tea Party is in power, they excellerated jobs leaving America, right, US Chamber of Commerce?

And they are still doing it by destroying the American brand by gutting our sensible regulations...can you spell: High unEmployment and High Foreclosures, Low Taxes and Hidden Overseas bank accounts?

Did these sucker ever think that this was going to negatively affect the Federal Taxes and State and Local taxes governments were going to receive? Did not they ever think this was going to affect the revenue these businesses was going to receive from selling their imported goods to people who just did not have enough money left because they were left in survivor -mode.

Great job, Republican Tea Party , Koch Brothers, et al, and the US Chamber (pot) of Commerce.

I know one thing, we need term limitations on the Supreme Court and Congress.
