Why don't you just send a check to my local community to pay for teachers, fire fighters, and police vs sending it to the govt. to syphon off Administrative costs and then send it wherever they want? Do you ever think? Do you really believe it is your responsibility to pay for some other communities police, fire fighters, and teachers? When does reliance on the Federal Govt. stop?


Sure, why not? Either I help the community or I buy a more expensive car / house / what have you. By that standard it would be: Help vs. Greed. Is that what you meant?
 
Haha - I like you brought up the "Occupy" feces situation as if it were a common occurance. However, I bet complain when liberals call the Tea Party racist. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Also, Americans seem to like the "OWS" Poll: Most Americans Support Occupy Wall Street - Matthew Cooper - Politics - The Atlantic

Let me put some bread crumbs down to help lead you to enlightenment. I realize you may not follow them.

Here's a great basis for any logic in evaluating the Tea Party "tea-baggers", and the OWS "flea-baggers":

When the Tea Party holds a rally in public park, if the law says that festivities must end at 8 PM, and no littering, the Tea Party participants will be out of the park by 8 PM, and they will have left it clean. And they will have an impact as they did in Nov 2010 on the political process. We call it the "Rule of Law".

When the Flea Baggers hold a rally in a public park, they say "screw you" with regard to ordinances. They will camp and sleep and crap and litter. They will block traffic and disrupt other citizens trying to do their jobs. They will swear to stay in the park, trespassing, disrupting, "for as long as it takes" until they get their way. We call that "Mob rule".

I know exactly how this will impact November 2012. If it even takes that long.

Hey lib. Who made the car ? The house ? Do those auto-workers and carpenters look like the faces of "greed" ?

Why don't you help your own community and let mine help itself? Why do you think it is the Federal Taxpayer's responsibility to fund local and state responsibility issues? You really believe kicking the can down the road is the answer? What happens when the Federal funds run out and where does it stop?

You and Eric Cantor, I tell ya what :roll:

"If it even takes that long?" what do you plan on impeaching the President?

How is this even relevant to what I just stated? Maybe I misunderstood your post.

Ok. If it isn't the Federal Taxpayer's, whose is it? The states'? The cities'?

Yes and yes, that is where it always has belonged and that is where it belongs. Giving he Federal govt. that responsibility is dangerous and blurs the lines between Federal and State responsibility. Find out what your parents pay in state and local taxes and where that money is supposed to go?

LOL ... perhaps you should read some Napoleon: "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Sometimes restated as: "When your enemy is marching off of a cliff, get out of the way".

:)

Well I am from Tennessee. Salaries and wages are not taxed. Sales tax is 6% - 7% with an option for cities to add 1.5% - 2.75% to that. (The sales tax where I am from is 9.25%). We have a property tax (last time I checked [few months back*] it was $1.43 per $100 assessed value but there is no cities tax.

I think you have to wait until November 2012 when Obama can get voted out.

those are the taxes that fund state and local services including Teachers, Fire fighters, and Teachers.

Sure are. I shouldn't want to help out others with my money either? Helping others is a bad thing?

If your state and local community needs more money for teachers then go to the people of your community, not the Federal Taxpayer. that isn't the role of the Federal Govt to handle what a state wants or the Federal govt. thinks they need. That is the role of the people in the community to decide what they want and then find a way to pay for it. Expansion of the Federal govt. is a slippery slope for when the money runs out or the strings attached, the local taxpayer ends up paying the bill. Let the local taxpayer decide what they want and need, not a federal bureaucrat

Indeed, from your article - "A new survey shows that Americans overwhelmingly support the self-styled Occupy Wall Street protests that not only have disrupted life in Lower Manhattan but also in Washington and cities and towns across the U.S. and in other nations. Some 59 percent of adults either completely agree or mostly agree with the protesters, while 31 percent mostly disagree or completely disagree; 10 percent of those surveyed didn't know or refused to answer."

Compare that to the Tea Party...

Tea Party Sparks More Antipathy Than Passion

Obama is currently neutered. Even his own party has now helped to de-ball him. JOBS was DOA. There are no Democrat co-sponsors to that POS.

As the 2012 elections approach, watch and see how many Democrats up for reelection do not have him show up.
 
The tea party's popular support waned when big money took over the agenda. I don't think big money will corrupt this group.

LOL. The GOP, primarily due to Tea Party momentum, recorded historic gains in the mid-terms just 11 months ago. They figure to have a huge political impact on the 2012 elections, particularly with major GOP gains in the Senate.

Of course, if "waning" is measured by how many times a group is not photographed crapping on the American flag, obstructing traffic and being the subject of mass arrests, and appearing as parasites who advocate mob rule ..... than "yeah", the Tea Party is waning ;)

Liberalism is absolutely a mental disorder.

Provide the evidence. What medical journal is this in? Which psychoanalysis journal was this found?

Pelosi and Hoyer are co-sponsors, and polls show the majority of the country supports the Jobs Act.

Americans Dislike the Tea Party More Than Ever Before

"Just 28 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the tea party, an all-time low in the 19 months that CNN/ORC pollsters have gauged Americans' feelings about the movement. At the same time, 53 percent of Americans think poorly of the tea party, an all-time high. According to CNN/ORC, the movement's popularity peaked in the spring of 2010, when 38 percent of Americans said they liked the tea party and only 36 percent said they didn't.

CNN's polls aren't the only ones to pick up a decline in support for the tea party. In a pair of Pew Research Center polls conducted in February 2010 and August 2011, disapproval of the tea party jumped from 18 percentage points; the percentage of those who said they liked the movement increased from 33 to 36 percent. Washington Post-ABC and Wall Street Journal-NBC polls also found declining support for the tea party from 2009 to 2010."

Obama JAR today is 39% according to Gallup so your facts don't seem to jive. What makes you think, since I believe you are part of that group that supports the job's bill, that this jobs will be any better than Stimulus One? You seem to believe your state is going to get free money. What happens when that money runs out? Are you prepared to pick up the costs after that money runs out and so then why not now? Police, Teachers, and Fire Fighters are state and local responsibilities

LOL ... they aren't Senators :)

Obama job approval .... 38%. And decreasing. There's your JOB support ;)

That's more than twice than the approval rating for Congress. And then Congress blocked the Jobs Act which 63% of Americans support.
