I'd like to see you back up your lie that the TP is supported by big business.
As for govt welfare - since no poor person ever hired me, but corporations have, I'd say yes to that.
Who paid for the number of buses for the TP gatherings? Who paid the speakers to come and talk to their group? Do your own research!
I’ve known several people who worked for a little and struggling company of a poor man. That’s how small businesses get started - on a shoestring, and employees help move the company forward making it bigger and better for the owner/s. One small company that got started and hired a few employees at first was Mr. Bill Gates. Both he and his first employees struggled to bring the little company into a giant corporation that it is today. There’s nothing wrong with that! But “yes” people do work for little struggling poor businesses. You can check on the many others that are both national and local in your own area.
However why do some of those in the TP support big business and corporations that many don’t pay taxes and receive government welfare instead of attacking the “people” who are in need of healthcare and social assistance. Are humans less important than corporations?
Take food, housing, education and healthcare away from those in need, and let corporations move their jobs offshore!
remember though- Michelle Bachmann in Concord, New Hampshire- the shot that was heard round the world---lol
She forgot about Mass., CT. and the rest of New England........and American history for the past 200 years....no surprise there....and she is a brain surgeon compared to palin.
lol, Alabama is poor, yet free-market loving? Where are you getting that generalization?. They dont invest, many are below poverty line. They aren't part of any market system. they are the unemployed who fall off the statistics....
Alabama and Mississippi have always been poor and probably always will be. If not for the jobs they stole from the North and West they'd be even poorer than they are.
Those who are uneducated and ignorant are drawn to the republicans and hard right tea party. Not surprising the most wealthy, educated and prosperous areas are also the the most heavily democratic.
I would say you need to look at what was and how fast the South has been catching up on the wealth thing. Funnything, when the south was solid democratic party land, they didn't make half what everyone else made in income. Now they have gotten smarter and are up to near avg. income. The rate they are going, they will pass the "blue states" soon. hmmmmmm
Curious for all those that seem to know all about my area's economic history. Has the South's economic stability increased or decreased since they started voting solidly Republican vice Democrat?
As for poor urban people, we--yes, I said WE, cause I'm one of them--have enough good sense to vote for our best economic interests. Republicans don't give a hoot about us inner city people, and that's why my home neighborhood (I'm currently stuck in the suburbs right now) goes Democratic 98-99% to 1-2% Republican.
Well, at least someone has the balls to admit they are just in it for the Democrat-run gravy train.
