1. 'cut taxes not defense'
where does she think the defense money originates? Logic is certainly a missing link. How did these people become so deficient? I marveled at & told my mother once, 'you are educated, you have critical thinking skills. Why don't you use them?'

7. This is why I consider it a waste of time to try to reason with them.
Something's just not wired up right upstairs.

14. +1. Utter lunacy.
I mean even among the lower taxes crowd the idea of "zero taxes" has to be considered idiotic.

I am all for lower taxes. End the wars, cut military budget in half, tax all income equally and we can lower taxes.

The idea for no taxes is just stupid. I mean I don't care where you are in the political spectrum.

8. Those people are really dumb.
Someone needs to say it out loud. These are stupid, ignorant, people. Everyone in the media has been far too nice.

9. I should show them, for comparison mostly
Edited on Tue May-11-10 01:03 PM by nadinbrzezinski
what a place with taxes near zero looks like





Now sadly we have not invented smell-o-vision. The photos don't convey the full story.

Oh and here are a few more





I am sure our zero taxes person would not realize this.

:patriot:

Nice artwork! :applause:

16. Inaccurate photoshop, because in there would be no trees in the Teabagger world.
The forests would have been logged years ago.

13. I pointed out stuff like this to a local teabagger...his only reply was..
"None of those things (public roads, public hospitals, public libraries, etc..) are "Constitutionally Authorized". That was his refrain.."not Constitutionally Authorized."


The guy should be paying an oxygen tax.

15. They actually are...
Public roads: Article I, Section 8 (Powers of Congress): The Congress shall have the power to establish Post Offices and Post Roads. A Post Road is a road on which mail is carried.

Public hospitals and Libraries: fall under the "promote the general welfare" clause in the Preamble.

18. I suppose I'm now more-or-less officially in the same age demographic...
...as most tea party nuts, so calling them bitter old farts resonates a bit too close to home, but STILL! Jeez. The ignorance-- it burns us, precious!

19. Hilarious! And the tea gaggers are absolutely clueless.... They're surrounded by socialism!
There are a lot more things that could have been added, like the regulations to make that car, chair and even ink on their signs safer, but it wouldn't be as effective as the sign just as it is. I am going to spread that around if it's okay with you. Thank you for posting it. A picture IS worth a thousand words.

21. Best sign out there: "Cut Taxes, Not Defense". Are people really that stupid?
Not everyone can understand Algebra, but is simple addition and subtraction really beyond her grasp?
