Poll: Most Tea Party Supporters Say Their Taxes Are Fair

[grahamhgreen]

This interesting poll also states, "Asked what they are most angry about, the top four answers among Tea Party supporters who identify as angry were the health care reform bill (16 percent), the government not representing the people (14 percent)"

1. That's ironic because TEA stands for taxed enough already.

Sometimes I get the feeling those people are mad and don't even know why they're mad.

8. They've been told over and over that the dems are going to raise their taxes.

The latest one a friend of mine repeated the other day is that we're going to get a VAT (Value Added Tax). Where every time raw material is sold for making something or products are sold and resold in a wholesale to retail transaction, a VAT will be added to it. I told him no Democrats had proposed this or are likely to.

10. They did the same with gun-control after Obama was elected

Remember after Obama won they all ran to the gun shop. To this day I still haven't heard Obama say a word about it. Their fear was great for the gun industry but nothing ever happened.

3. Did CBS ask if they were mad because there's a black guy in the white house?

they should have.......

4. Rebels Without A Clue...

As we see, when confronted the teabaggers spew talking points they have no idea what they mean and throw around buzzwords like "liberty" "freedom" and "constitution" with little knowledge of any of the three other than what Faux Noise tells them it is. We see some who rail against "socialism" and then scream about President Obama taking away their medicare. Or others who say they're taxed too much, but then any tax is too much for these freeloaders who still want the government to pick up their trash (they should hop in and save us the bother) or pave the roads or operate the schools. Most chase their tails and dance to the tune of the corporate and party puppetmasters who use these useless fools as a distration.

5. Tell the mainstream media to shut up.

Nobody believes them anymore.

6. According to everything I have seen, the government DOES represent the people -

it's just that the Democrats won the election and the republicans are mad about that and won't accept it.

7. Some of them have started to figure out their taxes have gone down since January 2009.

Now they have to think of something else to be indignant about.

9. Some other interesting tidbits in the numbers...

Like this one...

"When supporters of the Tea Party are asked to volunteer what they like least about the President, the top answer is they just don’t like him, mentioned by 19%."

In other words, "He's black"
