Teabagging.

[PAlexC]

It isn't quite accurate.

It should be called the anti-inflation tea-party. I suppose the problem is that inflation doesn't have it's own day. It's much more deceptive.

I think, at it's core, that yes, that's what this is all about. Fiscal conservatives don't like the deficit spending we're undertaking to try to right the ship here. They would prefer tax cuts, cuts in government spending and believe in trickle-down economics. Whether that's effective or not is another debate, but it's a legitimate stance.

The problem is that instead of promoting an alternative plan they want pushed through congress, this whole charade is nothing other than Republican venting and angry mobs.

You've got people calling Obama a fascist, protesting higher taxes (that don't exist), cries that we're becoming socialists, and all the typical anti-government conservative whargarbl.

I was watching the streams on Fox yesterday, and they had a British woman, speaking to a crowd of Americans at a Tea Party....blew my frickin' mind. Furthermore, she was going on about how they stopped unfair poll taxes by protesting when Thatcher introduced them. Which would be fine, if we were talking about protesting unfair taxation...but last I checked there were no new taxes at the Federal level, and all Obama was doing was reversing the Bush tax cuts, which puts us back to Clinton-era tax rates.
