The Tea Party was a hoax.

Taxes were not raised. Also if the democrats ever do raise taxes you can be sure it will be on ultra-millionares and billionares and not you!!! What the republicans want though is for you to be liberal about your own money and spend it like crazy at mauls and strip mauls for the pockets of fat cats who own corperations. Do you like being eaten like a mouse? Or perhaps mice in skid row have some appeal. The whole republican appeal is so laughable, and almost so visable that I personally would like to throw waterballoons at it or at least get my piece of the pie!!!
