Dear tea-partiers in Duncanville and elsewhere

Get a clue.

If you need one, even though this isn’t PR by Faux News, start by reading this.

Beyond that?

First, you ARE represented. If (assuming you’re Republicans) your party is out of presidential power after eight years …

It¹s called “democracy.” Deal with it.

Fortunately, nobody I talked to personally is a Ron Paul-style goldbug, although many pity partiers (a truer name for them) are.

Gold has little intrinsic value; what pricing it has is largely assigned by human greed.

You want something material to back our Federal Reserve notes? Try oil or coal instead.
As for “overtaxed”? Nobody’s increased your tax rate. Even above $250,000, it’s still only being moved back to what it was when Clinton became president and less than what it was when Reagan left office.

And, offering a constructive alternative would be better than just mentally holding your breath over alleged overtaxation.

When I was at a protest recently, I had a constructive option nationalizing banks. I didn¹t offer a vague “something.”

As for tea-party pusher Dick Armey, if his flat tax idea is so good, why did he never, ever propose a flat tax for corporate income taxes?

Answer is ALWAYS the same.

Whether rich individuals or rich businesses, flat taxes always benefit the rich.
