Just because the tea party/republicans want to raise taxes on millions of middle class Americans doesn't necessarily meant they are anti-working class.
The longshoremen did not join the protest and they made a public statement to that effect.
Port shutdown pledged despite union rejection - Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/news/article/Port-shutdown-pledged-despite-union-rejection-2390166.php - broken link)
As far as the shutdown of the ports, we have no involvement with that whatsoever — none," Coffman said.
You're impressed by the fact the union officially claims it has no part in the shutdown? I agree with that. The UNION did not participate in the shutdown, but their members did.
Which do I like better?
Being boiled in oil or being flayed?
Both are caricatures.. Both also have large influence on their respective parties. Then wonder why someone who rates say, 65% ACU scratches his/her head for being called a marxist.
Teabaggers in Congress want to raise taxes on the middle class, so they can give more tax breaks for their millionaire benefactors (who, of course, more than likely inherited all their wealth).
Speaking of loons.... where did you read that nonsense? Even the silly statement in parenthesis is a lie.
Try doing a little research before posting next time.
Agreed. It is a silly poll. I don't know anything about "teabaggers." I am familiar with the Tea Party, but they are not included in the poll, so I can't vote.
Everybody in Washington wants to raise taxes on the middle class (or what's left of it). Why. Because we let them. We never complain we just whine and then acquiesce. The middle class of any society is the easiest to scam either officially or unofficially. This is nothing new. Also there are still enough of us middle class folks that the scammers can still see a huge block of revenue coming from us with very little effort on their part. The garbage we send to Washington or at least those who become garbage (about 90%) after arriving in that fair city, won't raise much hell with the economic elite class. Not if they want to stay in Washington.
You're kidding, right? The Tea Party demographic is the white, male, Christian power structure.
The Occupy movement is not my cup of tea, either, but really?
No, SERIOUSLY, you're the one joking, yeah? Yanking my chain?
What on earth makes you think that "white, Male and Christian" mean something "other than" working class? We, the working, middle class are the main taxpayers.

both see problems for the working class going forward.
the tea party sees a dissolution of the working class, and the OWS movement sees a bleak future for the young- at the rate we are going.
i notice the disrespect in the original poll for both groups. (although a typical divide and conquer strategy)
shame, shame, shame.
