Tea Parties Catching On, Reps Still Not Catching On

As tea parties are igniting nationwide our non-representing representatives still are not getting it. They prefer to think the entire nation or at least those protesting are just a bunch of kooks. Yes, aren't we all nuts for not wanting to give the government more than a 100,000 per family.

I recently wrote Barbara Boxer, a senator (non-representing representative) from California. I asked her since she was willing to sign a bill for over a trillion dollars without reading it, if she wouldn't mind sign some papers I'd be willing to send her without reading them.

Her response was that our government needed to "inject" money into the economy. I guess she thinks we're all stupid enough to not understand that the only way to inject that money into the economy is to take it out of the economy first by taxing us. So essentially what they're doing to do is take our money from us, not give it back to us but give it to someone else. How would this help me more than just letting me keep the more than 20,000 dollars taken out of my check last year, not to mention all the sales tax, capital gains tax, etc.

The Tea Parties are catching on, but our non-representing representatives sure aren't catching on.

I received similar responses from Diane Feinstein and Lynn Woolsey as well. At least where these three are concerned they never saw a spending will they weren't willing to sign. I fear the most of the representatives in the other states are the same way or they would not have voted so unamamously to spend so much money without ever reading the bill or knowing where the money is going. They clearly have no sense of responsibility. They are like children who have gotten their hands on their parents credit cards and think there is no end to the things they can buy and spend on because the money comes out of thin air.

My greatest hope is that the tax tea parties don't stop with April 15th. If so our non-representatives will be right in thinking they were meaningless. We need to demand they repeal the laws they've past and find other ways to fix the problems they've created. We should make no mistake, as much as they love the class warfare game and want to blame the big executives of the banks for our woes, they were the ones that regulated and pressured those banks to make sure that anyone who wanted a house got loaned the money for it whether they qualified or not, and now they are pressuring the banks again to continue that loaning practice because they're receiving government funds. Am I the only one that can't see the sense in this?
