Proof that this was an actual sign at a Tea Party rally and not one that you just made up in your backyard and took a picture of?

So up until about 100 years ago we were an "extreme" nation, huh? lol

P.S. You do realize that ss is the biggest legal ponzie scam ever invented and would make even Bernie Madoff blush, correct? You're like a grateful peasant thanking the oligarcy for only keeping you down with one boot and not both; "Thank you sir, may I have another", you say every time you vote for the established elite.

So uh, what do you do with that?

I see it a lot. It's strange. And sad.

Just as the Tea Partiers are. I wonder about the longevity of their movement. In this day and age when "virtual" online support means so much, I guess one could surmise that the Tea Party is not attracting a lot of "young" folks. Their websites suck. That's a design opinion, not a political opinion.

Sorry, but Tea Party websites are really lame. I'm sure they have better things to think about though.
Other than the typical leftist elitism of calling us "stupid" you gave no examples of "extremism."

You are incorrect when you say the Tea Party does not attract young people. I see plenty of them. Have you ever been to one?

AND you didn't say anything about the issues. It was just a biased post comparing the Tea Party to 8th graders. How many 8th graders care about the debt and small government?

You make it sound as if the IRS was around since this nation was founded.

How was it done before the IRS and the federal reserve?
Never say never. Can't never could do nothing.

Taxes are a part of Congressional duties assigned by the Constitution.

Federal Reserve I know less about, wasn't that a corporate coup?

Prove that it is a legal ponzie scam that would make Bernie Madoff blush. Actually, do you even know what a ponzie scam is?

Secondly, you still need to prove which part of the Constitution that you think is being violated.

Third, when you back and support those that have every intention of getting into people's personal lives....you are extreme, while you sit on the sidelines and talk about freedom. Genocide.

You have offered nothing here but your attempt to deflect in what you seem to think are witty comebacks. Unfortunately, you are 100% proving that the "elitist left" are correct in their view of you.

The IRS and the Federal Reserve, brought to you care of Woodrow Wilson and the Progressive Era of the last Century. The scam of the 20th Century.
Try that in the private sector and you would be thrown in jail!
