Tea Partiers - Hypocrites Using Government Programs

Ran into this page the other day while doing research.

Naples TEA Party Patriots

TEA = Taxed Enough Already

I am getting sick and tired of the slash and burn the Republicans are doing to our federal, state, and city government.

No more taxes – means, no more government revenue – cut, cut, cut.

What business could survive without revenue?
What business does not have revenue??????

But the stupid Republicans want to cut taxes, drown the government in a bathtub.

YET – they are all using government programs.

Republican politicians are the worst hypocrites when it comes to using government programs paid for by taxpayer money:

  Give up your taxpayer funded health insurance – go buy your own.

  Give up your taxpayer funded pension – fund your own damn retirement.

  Give up your taxpayer funded security – get your own damn security.

  Give up your taxpayer funded first class travel.
  Give up your taxpayer funded travel to ALEC meetings.
Government programs are paid for by taxes.
Your salary is paid for by taxes.
DUH!

I pay taxes – I really don’t mind paying taxes.

Taxes support programs that are necessary in our society.

Taxes support services that are necessary in our society.

Taxes provide my fellow citizens with JOBS (something the damn Republicans don’t know anything about) – which helps our economy and helps me with the services that they provide.

“Taxes, after all, are dues that we pay for the privileges of membership in an organized society.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I like to pay taxes. With them I buy civilization."  Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr

Taxes are not tithes imposed by tyrants; they are self-imposed duties that permit our government to discharge our common purposes. … To cry “Give Americans back their hard-earned tax dollars!” is a disingenuous way of saying “To hell with establishing justice, promoting welfare and securing liberty!” It is nothing more than a cynical bribe to get people to give up on one another and to go it alone.  Benjamin Barber

Taxation is the price which we pay for civilization, for our social, civil and political institutions, for the security of life and property, and without which, we must resort to the law of force.  Special Committee – State of Vermont, 1852

Government programs are paid for by taxes.
DUH!

If you are a supporter the Republican Party or the Tea-Partiers and what I have wrote upsets you – then YOU SHOULDN'T BE SUPPORTING the policies of the Tea Party or the Republicans. 

This is their agenda! 

Stop – Think (if you still know how to do that)! 

Government programs are paid for by taxes.
DUH!

Well folks – you hate taxes so much? 

Well folks – you hate the government programs taxes fund so much?
Then quit using them!

AND pay back the government for the “entitlements” that you have received or are currently receiving. 

Get off the public dole.

Stop being hypocrites using Government Programs

If you are using government programs – and you are a Republican or Tea Partiers – you are hypocrites! 

Plain and simple – hypocrites.

Everything listed below is funded by a government program – also known by the “wing-nuts” as a government entitlement program.

Government programs are paid for by taxes.
DUH!

$        If you used the GI Bill to go to school – sit down and write a check to the government for your education.

$        If your kids are going to public school– either pay the school district for their education or pull them out and home school them.  If you choose to home school them don’t you dare ask for any kind of assistance in doing so.  Do not ask for vouchers to put your kid into some private school.

$        If your kids are going to public university – pull them our right now and enroll them in a private college – but don’t you dare ask for any federal or state funds to pay for their education.

$        If you have taken any tax credits – cause your kid is in college – pay them back.

$        If your kids or participated in Head Start - sit down and write a check to the government to reimburse the government for that expense.  If your kids are in Head Start – pull them our right now!

INCOME ASSISTANCE

$        If you are currently receiving unemployment benefits – STOP right now!

$        If you are drawing SSI disability payments – STOP right now and earn your own way.

$        If you, your parents or grandparents are receiving Social Security – tell them to STOP right now and go out and get a job. (Another idea is that your parents or grandparents can move into your house and you can support them.)

$        If you, your parents or grandparents are enrolled in Medicare – tell them to STOP right now and you can pay all their medical bills.

$        If you or your kids are on Medicaid – STOP using it right now and pay for medical out of your own pocket.

$        If you are on food stamps – quit using them and pay for your food yourself!

$        If you are on the WIC program – quit using it and pay for all that stuff yourself.

$        If you’re kid is eating a school lunch – STOP that right now – start packing their lunch for them.  If you are getting subsidized lunches – shame on you, pay for it yourself or let your kids go without food.

$       If you are receiving disability payments from the VA – STOP! And don’t you dare ask for another penny of money for your service to the American people – from any government agency.

AT WORK (Tell your boss you don’t need or want any protections afforded to you under labor and wage laws – that would include some of the following.)

$        Tell your boss that safety is not an issue and you will do whatever needs to be done.

$        Tell your boss you will work for whatever wage they want to pay you, even if it’s 30 cents an hour.

$        Tell your boss that your kids will come in and work for them for (let’s say) 15 cents and hour and will work as many hours as your boss want them to.

$        If you are getting special accommodations for your disability tell your boss that’s not needed and you can do without the special accommodations.

$        If you are a woman tell your boss you don’t expect equal pay – you will work for whatever salary they choose.

$        If you are expecting a child – do not use the family and medical leave – we expect you to report back to work the day after you give birth.

MISCELLANEOUS

$        If any of your have received emergency loans from FEMA for disasters – pay that money back and don’t you dare ask for anymore assistance in the future.

$        Don’t you dare ask for help from agencies like the FHA, HUD, FEMA, the VA, the SSA, or OSHA.  If you have received any financial benefit because you have previously begged these agencies to help you- pay it all back – every penny that you received that someone else who didn’t get or use their help didn’t get.

$        If you don’t like women to “have a choice” than you better go out and adopt every single child in foster care  and take care of them – on your own dime..  You don’t like it – be part of the solution.

$        If you are currently taking care of foster children – pay for it yourself and don’t ask for any financial assistance.

$        If you have received ANY type of tax credit (and that includes you folks in the wealthiest 1%) – PAY IT BACK NOW.

$        Start paying the full taxable rate on your capital gains
$        If you belong to a union – write a check and reimburse the government for all the benefits you are enjoying.  The Federal government protects your right to organize and you don’t deserve that right.  And by the way – tell your employer they can get rid of vacations, health insurance, sick pay and other benefits your union negotiated for you.

$        Tell your bank you don’t want or need any FDIC insurance on your accounts.

$        Write to your congress person or senator and tell them we don’t need the SEC – we can trust Wall Street to do the right thing.

$        Write to your congress person or senator and tell them we don’t need the Army, The Navy, The Coast Guards, the Marines, fire departments, police departments, the highway patrol – all government funded programs.

$        .

$        Turn off your damn TV and radio (FCC) – you’d probably be smarter if you didn’t listen to them.
