The Tea Party

This is certainly a group that has spun through Washington like the Tasmanian Devil through a toilet paper factory. I do actually admire their ambition, as misdirected as it may be.

The newly elected 86 congressmen of the Tea Party, have shown a devotion to service; at the same time they have shown their freshman status by standing behind some irrational positions. The Tea Parties influence on the conservative party is largely responsible for the stand off regarding the raising of the National debt limit. Conservatives are pressured to act on behalf of the newly founded Tea Party as the billionaire activist Rupert Murdoch launched the Tea Party into mainstream by financing their elections as well as funding the Tea Party organizations.
Traditional conservatives have been squirming at the antics the Tea Party have been doing, as they understand that these actions are way too far right for the general public; and as a result, substantial damage is being done to the republican party. Poll after poll demonstrate that the Tea Party's fundamental views are way too extreme for the countries independent voters. Yet, at the time of this writing, the conservative party still has not pushed back. The republican party is caught between a rock and a hard place, and I am very curious how this will play out.
The point of this essay however, is not which party is the right choice. Our country may be made up of liberal and conservative foundations forever; as there are simply two polarities that are within human nature. What I would like to address here is how the Tea Party may have gotten their wires crossed somewhere down the line, and as of yet have not seen the larger picture. For what I see, are a group of Americans who for lack of a better term, got their feelings hurt and are now overreacting. Yet the more important factor here is that they have been mislead.
Generally speaking, the Tea Party folks are for less government, lesser to no taxes. Tea Party folks would rather have a wisdom tooth pulled than to let the government pay for seniors medication. Even as I do not agree with the later, I still understand their position and of course they have the right to be as conservative as they wish.
I know that corporations spend billions of dollars on advertising the methodology they have for manipulating the government. In other words, they have "think tank" meetings, where they devise plans on how to manipulate the media and the public. Corporations pay billions of dollars to ex politicians, governors, radio hosts, and pundits to appear on television shows and make the statements that were prepared for them to make. The statements are always designed to inflame the other side, and create a never ending loop of debate. When a group of people from either party hear these comments over and over, they become influenced and began to adopt the same opinions.
The insidious thing here is that the debate is a manufactured debate, designed solely to distract and confuse each party. Those who take to heart anything said by a representative of their respective party; begin to recite the same message to friends through emails and conversations. The "facts" that were presented are never the whole facts. Many of the statements are adopted as truth even as they immediately do not make common sense.
For example "Corporations should not pay taxes, as taxes are job killers. The more money corporations have, the more that trickles down".
This belief was created by corporate think tanks and has infiltrated the minds of far right conservatives. Let me prove that statement false based on history and common sense.
First of all the upper tax bracket under 8 years (throughout Bill Clinton's Term) was 39 percent. There were 2 million jobs created. The stock market made new highs. This was the 2nd largest growth spurt our country even had!
Under George Bushes term of 8 years, he lowered the upper tax bracket to 35 percent. There was no job creation under this term. The stock market plummeted.
3 years after with the upper tax rate still at 35 percent, we still have no jobs.
Corporations have 2.5 trillion dollars tucked away in off shore accounts for a tax shelter. This money will never return into the hands of the middle class. This money will not trickle down. It is not a lack of money that prevents corporations from creating jobs.
Jobs are created by one thing, and one thing only! When there is a demand for a product. When the demand increases, production will increase, and business will hire more people. What creates the demand? The middle class having extra money to spend!!
Now a Tea Party member will read what I have just proven to be illogical, and continue to debate me - even without having any evidence to support that notion. Why? Well simply they have been programmed by the media to believe what they were given. They may have been watching a conservative news station, or listening to a conservative radio host, and they fully trust the information they are given without doing any research. They believe these messages that were created by big business even as the information they adopted sounds completely illogical.
Yet I understand the Tea Parties frustration, and frustration with the government. If I were a Tea Party member, I would be really upset at the corporations who have manipulated the media. I would also be upset at myself for having been taken like that. One thing is certain though, if I were a Tea Party member, I would focus my outrage at the system where it belongs. BIG MONEY, LOBBYISTS, TERM LIMITS, CORPORATE MANIPULATION.
