Does Anyone Care About The Truth Anymore?

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities - a non-partisan research and policy institute - states that "middle-income Americans are now paying federal taxes at or near historically low levels."

It therefore makes no sense that the majority of the "Tea-baggers" who are protesting against the current administration's policies are so upset about the current levels of federal taxation.

Tea Party protesters are being stirred up by the likes of Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin - conservative Republicans who spew out meaningless Republican rhetoric. 

Tea Party activists are protesting against excessive taxation and government spending.

The protesters claim to be patriots, protecting the country and the Constitution upon which it was founded.

Supporters of the Tea Party strongly oppose the new Health care Bill which extends benefits and protections to millions of Americans.

Where does this Bill not protect the country and its citizens? Where does it violate the Constitution?

In my opinion the Tea Party consists of very frightened people -  people who are scared of progress and change, and their only excuse for opposing this progress is this false claim to be protecting the Constitution.

If you are feeling so generous can you pay mine? Nowhere in the constitution does it say you can't do it. So? 

BTW the VP paid $70,000 on his $300,000 income and I personally think that is too much. I'm sure others feel the same way.

Lyn - Have you heard any complaints from Vice President Biden?

or have you heard any complaints from President Obama, who paid almost $1.8 Million in taxes in 2009?

Just wanted to add that Biden is too stupid to even realize he has to pay taxes. I got out my handy Tea Party calculator and that came out to 23%. Biden's too busy dropping the 'f' bomb at a top level meeting to bother with taxes.

Lyn - Your comment in #4 is meaningless.

If you'd like to participate in my blog, kindly keep your comments sensible, or else please take your childish behavior elsewhere.

Stewart,

Compared to the rest of the world, Americans are paying in taxes. Check out Canada, GB, Sweden etc. I can't see what the problem is there.
