Just too funny for words....

As mentioned in the article, how can someone who isn't paying taxes protest about paying too much in taxes? More right-wing logic I guess.

1 the rich don't get refunds. Tax breaks yes
2 I am middle class I get a refund
3 what does fairness have to do with paying or not paying taxes
4 I think you make to much money so give me a 100000 dollars.

Frankly....it's so typical of the cRyght to identify themselves as 'tea baggers' before they really understood the implications of the word that it's sad...in a way.

The original notion wasn't all that bad...show up on tax day and protest. Send a brief, sharp message to Congress that you're now awake and watching. Of course, I wondered where they all were when Jethro was tossing $2 billion a day at Iraq with absolutely no oversight...but that's another story.

Then those who participated in the original tea party protest discovered that they were really being used as obstructionist shills, the entire movement collapsed from the exposure.

Pity.
