And that is why...well.... LOL.
Everyone knows we need taxes. Every one knows this. It's how things get paid for, these days. It's kind of ....necessary. Tea partiers have rallies where they say slogans like, "Some should not pay all, all should pay some." That sounds reasonable.
And then you people like this guy. Tell me; "True patriot' or "WTF is this guy smoking?"
" the original tea party involved destroying a taxed commodity in order to hinder the collection of taxes on that product. With cigarettes, you can just quit smoking and become a patriot and part of our tax revolt. There are many in California who will no longer buy big ticket items in California because the sales tax is being raised an entire point (7.75% -> 8.75%). We will drive to Arizona or Nevada to purchase these items. That will hurt local retailers, and drive more businesses, jobs and families out of California, leaving the state in a worse situation than it was before.
Black markets will emerge and bartering will expand as Americans will revert to ’survival mode’. We will not be slaves to our government, no matter who the president is. Liberals don’t understand how the world works. Their marxist dreams will come crashing down, just like the Soviet Union."
I'm reading this thinking, "This has got to be a joke."
Are you going to stop buying, stuff like gasoline (taxes) to drive your truck (taxes, license fees, mandatory mandated insurance in some states) to drive on a Federal Highway (taxes) patrolled and kept safe by State Troopers (Taxes) to get to Arizona or Nevada to buy a "big ticket item."
What's a big ticket item... a fridge? You're gonna show the government you're serious about taxation by buying a fridge in Arizona?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAhAHA.

I wonder how many Tea Partiers would rather die than take an ambulance on a road paid for by state/local/federal taxes to a hospital that takes Medicaid/Medicare dollars. True patriots put their money where their mouth is. If you're gonna be a bigot, you can't just be 1/2 a bigot. It's just not convincing.
A bigot is a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices.The correct use of the term requires the elements of obstinacy, irrationality, and animosity toward those of differing devotion.
Bigotry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I remember a depressing episode of
The Jeffersons in which, purely by chance, George Jefferson administers life-saving CPR to the leader of a white supremacist organization (for some reason they're together in the same building, or in an elevator, or something). The guy is recovering in the hospital when George Jefferson is introduced to him by a friend as the man who saved his life. The white supremacist guy looks at his friend and says "
you should have let me die."
That, my friend is
true bigotry. Or looked at in another light,
extreme dedication to your cause.
"Making me work to pay your way is SLAVERY."
sounds like
"Making you work to pay my way is A-OK."
