Tom Grimes: Tea Party Activist and On Federal Dole

On March 27, 2010, in doomed, by admin ....

The Times reports on Mr. Tom Grimes who is an activist for the Tea Party. After being laid off, he went to his Democratic Congressman to get help getting on government health care. Later he returned to protest against health care reform. Of course, this is hypocrisy but not particularly surprising. Sarah Palin’s son is on government health care and she is opposed to health care reform. ALL Republicans (and some Democrats) who voted against health care reform are on government health care — also, opposed to health care reform. All Seniors — the only age demographic which is majority Republicans — which are on government Medicare and opposed to health care reform are also hypocrites.

In addition to being hypocrites, these people subscribe to the fundamental tenet that “I’ve got mind, screw the rest of you.”. This is what is behind the Tea Party, Republicans, and generally every aspect of conservative thinking in America today. It confirms the selfish, greedy mantra of vast numbers of Americans. The fact that health care reform passed — even in its limited fashion — is testimony to just how messed up today’s America is. Over 20% of Americans report they cannot support themselves on their present salaries, even if they are holding multiple jobs. Likewise, millions and millions have no access to health care. A study today showed that 30% of Latinos, 20% of African-Americans, and 10% of Whites do not have health care.
