"Folks whom rich people despise as losers protesting against raising taxes slightly on rich people"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

"Please, Mr Taxman, leave our rich corporate masters alone!"

It's Tea Bag Day!

I hope you're all taking to the streets with your boxes of Red Rose and Lipton. Oh, I forgot. Most of you are sane and sensible and blessed with a gift for recognizing irony. Then I guess like James Wolcott you're on your way out to infiltrate and disrupt the protests.

The streets are going to be filled---or at least mildly congested---with a whole lot of regular folks whom rich people despise as losers protesting against raising taxes slightly on the rich people who think of them as losers.

In gratitude the rich are toasting their defenders with Korbel Brut and taking back every thing they said about their being losers.

Their new preferred word is "suckers."

If the Tea Baggers had been alive in 1773, they'd have taken to the streets to protest that the King needed to quarter more troops in their homes, the Stamp Act didn't go far enough, and tea was just too darn cheap as it was.

1. The Leona Helmsley Brigade

The teabaggers should put up statues to her, complete with her raising her dress so they can kiss her ass.

2. What kills me is that no one is getting their taxes raised!

A tax cut has expired and thus the rate reverts back to the default. If they want to hate someone hate * for not making the tax cut permanent. Peace, kim

3. Here you go...

FDR & ER: Learn to suck on it and like it, Rich folks!

[Canuckistanian]

4. A bit wordy, but a good summation

It astounds me that so many people are so interested in seeing their oppressors prosper.

5. That's because they are going to be rich some day, too.

The fact that they are not is simply because of all those lazy liberals taking their money.

[No More Bushbots]

6. No that's no right.

They believe in Trickle-Down Economics.
They think if they protest for their masters, the masters will Trickle-Down some wealth to them.
