12. "tax increases"
Even though 98% of the country got a tax cut. There's that cognitive dissonance at work again.

I just sent this to a local TV station for a viewer comments segment they do.



Re: "Tea Parties"

I have to wonder, did these people miss the fact that 98% of the country just got a tax cut? Surely all the "teabaggers" aren't from that upper 2% that didn't get it? No, I have a feeling most of them are the crowd that lets Fox News and Rush Limbaugh do their thinking for them.

After talking with many of them, I find they all seem to have only one thing in common. They hate President Obama. Of course, that is what they are told to think by their sources of RNC-approved talking points.

If it's spending that is alarming them, I have to wonder, where were they when Bush and his cronies decided to toss a trillion dollars into a totally unnecessary war in Iraq?
