Never thought I'd meet anyone who had no problem showing their lack of understanding the real world as much as you.
What costs? Ever hear of bond market interest costs, capital carrying costs, rental costs, warehouse costs, depreciation costs, time depreciation of money costs, lost opportunity costs? You clearly live in some bubble and need to leave your moms basement, get a job and learn about basic information that all of society has to deal with.
Get a job?... Already have one.
They still have $500 BILLION more than they did 3 years ago... So who's failing math?...
a completely predictable response from someone who lauds the tea party, the party of "i'm right and everyone else is wrong."
for your information tea partyers are anything but the common folk they would like to have others believe they are. according to several polls taken by cbs and ny times ( no, they're not fox, so i'm certain you'll dismiss them ) in 2010, tea party members are disproportionately composed of older white men ( over 45 ) with higher than average incomes who are more likely than the general public to catergorize their financial situation as good or very good. a large number - 44%- are christian fundamendalist. rather than being a a gathering of the common folk riding in on their white horses to save america, it sounds more likely that they are doing o.k. and want very much to keep it that way. they are not an inclusive group; in other words, gays are not welcome unless they subscibe to the theory that they are mentally ill and need to be cured, and my guess is few believers in pro-choice would feel very welcome in their midst. overall, a self righteous, pious group whose small mindedness and insular thinking is dangerous and destructive.
and no,i don't expect you to believe any of this information, or even investigate.

Sure sounds like you made a good strong case FOR the tea partiers, because it sounds like they are the tax payers of society, and not the leaches, for the most part.
As for the babble about gays not welcome. just stop outright lying. nothing worse than a poster who has to lie to create a position because you dont have the facts to back them up.

They have $500B more than they did 3 years ago, because they earned it, something you said was impossible. It sounds like YOU are the one who failed math class. How the hell does your boss pay you? By stealing it? So you are now saying you help corporations steal money? Or is it more than likely that corporation has customers that CHOOSES to give the money in exchange for a product, and YOU help to facilitate that transaction in exchange for PAYMENT..

They didn't "earn" it... It was done with layoffs...
Is there any doubt that the actions of the Tea Party Republicans have brought us to the brink of depression... Then blame liberals... You don't drastically cut back government spending in a recession, unless your goal is to cause a depression... Also keep in mind that virtually all of the debt was created by the Republicans with their unfunded wars and tax cuts for the wealthy...
FOR TWO YEARS DEMOCRATS HAD THE HOUSE, SENATE AND THE White House! FULL CONTROL OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT WHAT DID THEY ACCOMPLISH. NOTHING!!!! EXECPT TO SPEND MORE MONEY AND WHAT GOOD DID THAT DO UNENPLOYMENT STILL ABOVE 9%. NO ONE IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OR TEA PARTY WERE TALKING ABOUT CUTTING GOVERNMENT SPENDING, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ANY REAL CUTS. LET ALONE DRASTICALLY CUTTING SPENDING. IT IS A LIE FROM LIBERALS WHO ARE VERY INGNORANT AND HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE TALKNG ABOUT!!!!!

careful your fear is definitely showing. a typical tea party response- we're good, hardworking people, and the poor are just a bunch of lazy sots who don't deserve a crumb from our table. we've lived right and they've lived wrong- otherwise they wouldn't be poor. and that is a primary tenet of the tea party group- the so-called poor ( those who are lazy and not like us ) are going to take what we have, and we can't let that happen. in tea party lingo that amounts to socialism-scary stuff.
the newest tea party darling, michelle bachman, has stated many times the party line on gays- she doesn't judge them ( oh no, thinking someone is mentally ill and needs to be cured is not judging ) but gays are definitely deviants and can never have marriage or a family which can only be reserved for heterosexuals. again, there is the tea party fear that their good, christian ( their term, not mine ) lifestyle may be contaminated in some way if gays are allowed the same privileges. it seems that the tea party is a fearful group- their way of life is being threatened by people who are not like them. it's an us against them conflict.
before you can accuse me of being gay or poor,i'll save you the trouble. i'll let you know that i'm heterosexual and am grateful that i've never been poor or even remotely down on my luck. and one more thing, i've voted both democratic and republican in the past. but one thing i'll never be is a subscriber to the small minded sanctimonious group that calls themselves the tea party

Actually that was what YOU said. YOU are the one who broke out their members by income levels. And I'm not a tea partier, so stop your hate babble.

Michele Bachman doesnt speak for the tea partiers. Now by your own admission your babble is based upon outright lies

Could care less of your sexual orientation. Didnt ask, didnt care. Is this similar to those who claim they have "black friends" to justify their racism?
Name a few of those filibustered bills that would have made one bit of difference. I'll wait patiently..
What?????... Too many to list...
