Whatever happened to the Tea Party?

Question

Once upon a time we tossed tea in the sea to protest unfair taxes by a Monochary.

We pay taxes, people are losing homes, can't afford healthcare, gas is outrageous...what happened to us?

Answer 1

Neighbor, it is quite simple your elected Representative and your Senators have forgotten that they are just the hired help not the boss!

Come November remember this and vote for anyone that you can who is not a democrat or a republican. If we can get enough people elected who are from neither party then we will get their attention and remind them who hires whom.

Answer 2

What happened to us? We traded our freedoms for strip malls, and we traded our courage for DVR's. We are all trapped in a cycle of consumption to keep the wheels of capitalism spinning. Vast, powerful corporations give most of us our paychecks in one form or another, and we turn around and hand them back for the things we need to survive, and shiny accessories that we don't need. Who is going to protest today? First, the protester would have to get out of his lazy boy, then he would have to pay $4 a gallon to drive to the protest, and that would require leaving the air conditioning is his home. We are weak, we are defeated, and there is no revolutionary spirit in this country today.
