I hope everyone leaning toward the Tea Party line sees this and fully understands which political party is pushing the "oh, pity the poor corporations who pay the world's highest income tax rate" excuse for lowering their taxes even more while sticking it to the middle class.
For decades, Americans have experienced a populist uprising that only benefits the people it is supposed to be targeting.... The angry workers, mighty in their numbers, are marching irresistibly against the arrogant. They are shaking their fists at the sons of privilege. They are laughing at the dainty affectations of the Leawood toffs. They are massing at the gates of Mission Hills, hoisting the black flag, and while the millionaires tremble in their mansions, they are bellowing out their terrifying demands. 'We are here,' they scream, 'to cut your taxes.' - Thomas Frank, What's The Matter With Kansas?
If they were capable of watching something other than Fox News and/or understanding what they're actually voting for, then they wouldn't lean Tea Party in the first place.
So while I hope the same, I'm not holding my breath. :/
