There is little more infuriating to people that are actually trying to save our country than a phony "grass-roots" movement started by billionaire industrialists. Oh, you didn't know? The TEA Party, who's slogan is "Taxed Enough Already", was founded by the NeoConservative Fascist-Industrialist Koch Brothers. They pretend to be a "third voice" and seem to be the ones poisoning the Republican party's last shred of dignity.
David and Charles Koch own the 'biggest company you've never heard of.'
They own a huge percentage of oil refineries, logging companies, coal
mines, and others. They have had to pay a lot of taxes and environmental
fines as a result. So, their answer to these terrible losses was to
organize the ultra-right into fighting for big business, or fighting for
them. Appealing to people who feel passionate about issues like, for
instance, immigration, they have managed to sucker a lot of people with
good intentions into helping their phony cause.
I don't even think that the majority of Right Wingers are true Republicans any more, hence I call them 'Neocons' for two reasons: First of all, there is a new type of conservative thinking today, who's ideas are not even remotely consistent with the old Republicans, (for example, they tend to associate words like 'war' with words like 'excitement'). Secondly, they truly are a whole new class of con artists. Would you be angry to know that $3 trillion of your tax dollars have been slaughtering people in Iraq? Have the gas prices even gone down... (no)? Are the Iraqi people better off than they were under Sadam (hell no). So, uh... what have we accomplished here? And why do the neocons want us to go back to Iraq so badly (they have succeeded, as of today...guess that makes me a profit) when it's so clear that the whole thing is a bad joke? As usual, the answer is that war is nothing more than a racket. Want to know why we're going back to Iraq? Find out who is manufacturing all the tanks, jets, and munitions, then find out who owns the company. But good luck finding out which politicians they are paying off, and how much money they're paying them, as that information is rarely disclosed.
I never really paid much attention to the joyous TEA Party before, because the United States has the lowest taxes of just about any other nation in the world, so when you run your campaign on being 'taxed enough already', in my mind you immediately loose credibility. But then the government was shut down in December, and I started to realize just how much damage the radical right is doing. But what infuriated me the most was discovering that the TEA party is backed by a group of billionaires trying to avoid paying higher taxes, and manipulate people into fighting for them to gain more control. Seriously, how much fucking money do you need? The wealth gap in the United States is the main reason why many of my generation still live in their mothers basement, when our parents were buying their first homes by my age. So it ought to infuriate you to learn that public opinion is being manipulated against your best interests so that a few ultra rich people can slowly take over our country.
Don't get me wrong, I don't like the Obama administration either, but the president is having a really hard time getting anything done these days due to the tp-neocons. But let's look at the facts.... Obama has issued less executive orders than any other president... ever. Not to mention that if Mitt Romney were president, there would have been no need for the Koch brothers to ever invent this disgusting organization. American conservatives are being seduced into betraying themselves. The pseudo-nemesis 'Liberal' wing is just part of the show, and considering 52% of my generation are independent, I think America is finally waking up to the fact that the political party system is nothing more than an illusion of choice. So then who's pulling the strings? I leave that up to you to figure out.
For anyone that doubts me, I ask you... Just how, exactly, does the TEA party benefit you? I'm dying to know...
