Are you a member of the Tea Party? If so I’m really trying to understand your anger but I’m confused about a few things. If you could answer these questions it might help my confusion. Please try hard to write logical responses with as few capital letters as possible:
1. With the plethora of tax credits and deductions available, the federal income tax on middle class families is the lowest it has ever been. Why, then, are you so angry about taxes?
2. Why now? If you really are so upset about government spending, where were you from 2001-2009 when our country was basically mortgaged to the Chinese in order for GWB to fight a personal war in Iraq? Again, why now?
3. Did you know that the FY 2011 Federal Budget kept discretionary spending flat at $1.4 billion, and actually cut Non-Security spending down to $520 billion? (source) Please reconcile that with your argument that spending is out of control.
4. From whom do you want your country back? I keep hearing people in your party yell “Give us our country back NOW!” I’m not sure where that’s directed. As far as I can tell, the leaders in Washington do have the nation’s interests at heart even if not everyone agrees with their actions.
5. Do you agree or disagree with this statement: In order for any progress to be made in a political arena there must be compromise.
6. How many hours a day do you watch Fox news? Do you think it would be more patriotic to spend that time volunteering in your community?
Thanks for helping me understand. I promise that if you respond to this I will post your answer unedited (unless you use profanity).
