A Quick Word

on the Teabagging Parties


So, I don't know if you know this or not, but there have been demonstrations across the US protesting taxes and even more specifically Taxation Without Representation.

Apparently, some people don't understand the United States Constitution. Our system of government is a representative republic. Now, in this form of government, we elect our leaders by a majority vote. Just because you were beaten in the election doesn't mean you have no representation. It just means you are not the majority.

So, all those who support the Teabagging Parties, you have representation. You're just a sore loser. It's similar to when Al Gore lost the election to George W. Bush, and all the democrats were complaining that Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election. It's not as if Democrats had suddenly lost representation, they just didn't win the election. Oh wait, there is a difference, in that Florida was Al Gore's...

But onto simply the taxation issue. For all those who love their 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th amendment rights, among others (ladies can I interest you in the 19th amendment?) you have to acknowledge the other amendments and articles of the Constitution. Now, since the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land, the entire body of articles and amendments are required to be observed. That means a little amendment called the 16th amendment. And I quote "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

So, all those who are against taxes but love your guns, free speech, right not to quarter soldiers, requirement of the police for a search warrant before they search your house, etc., please get over it. It's in the dang Constitution. That's what right the government has to take your money.


Also, Obama passed a bill that cut taxes on 95% of America. Seriously. You didn't care when Bush was spending us into oblivion and putting the burden on the middle-class, but now that Obama is in office, it's fascism! Quit being stupid.
