The Tea Party Strikes Back

How dare President Obama attempt to the Bush-era tax cuts for the rich expire, adding a whopping 4.6% to an already "overtaxed" population! But America shouldn't worry, 'cause the Tea Party has got their backs. And I don't mean "America" in the collective sense, I mean those Americans who came out in droves to support the Tea Party movement and spend their hard earned dollars on Sarah Palin's book. These aren't the Wall Street elites or Washington Fat Cats. These are the kind of ordinary Joes that go to work, do their jobs, and need that 4.6% tax cut to go to their boss because what kind of a country has America become when the guys at the meatpacking plant cannot count on their government to favour the wealthiest people in the nation?

Stephen Colbert used the word "nothingness" to describe the justification of letting the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire. And I believe it's the best look inside the ridiculous justification to feed the unemployed, underemployed and disillusioned lower-middle and middle class who vote Republican.

Enjoy.
