Which is the REAL Tea Party

[Mission Accomplished]

Tea Party can't be taken as a real movement for change they are running right to the lobbyist groups in flocks

All of a sudden anyone receiving anything is lazy. There are a lot people that can't see the difference between true need, and waste.

True need is not at all what we're talking about here.

True need is enough calories to not starve to death, clothing to keep from freezing to death and shelter. That's what a human being "needs." So if we make sure everyone has that is it okay if people who have more than that carry on with their lives?

But, if we are a country rich in resources and we only give everyone the bare necessities and thus they invented projects. Better help that someone gets luck and becomes an athlete. Because it is almost impossible to break the cycle of poverty.

or you would call those who are working multiple jobs from 14 years lazy because they get laid off and don't have an education to fall back on.

They both don't hold a ****ing candle to the Boston Tea Party or the subsequent revolutionary war crowd.

I didn't call anyone lazy. I think it is possible for someone to be both intelligent and hard working and still be poor. I don't look down on poor people. There are much more important things in life than money and happiness can be found in a variety of ways and places.

This is about some subjective concept of fairness that if someone has a lot they should be forced to give some of it away. I come from a different perspective that personal property rights are more important than an ever changing subjective standard of what's too much and what's too little. According to my way of looking at this issue force need never be used against anyone. I think not using force against/for people is a greater ideal than making sure everyone is materialistically equal.
