Yes, yes it is.... ONE Tea party organization out of thousands at the time(LOL)
Then explain how the rich pay the majority of the Fed income tax?
Also, doesn't libertarianism conflict with the liberal "collective"?(LOL)
It doesn't conflict. I just showed you my political ideology. I am against the state for different reasons than right wingers.
As far as the rich, they don't pay nearly enough. I don't particularly care that they "pay" most of the "income" taxes. Their wealth is beyond staggering, and when we talk about plans that benefit the majority of people as individuals, a modest tax increase on them doesn't harm them as much as it helps others.
I have no tolerance for arguments about the rich "keeping their property." Property comes with strings attached; work doesn't solely earn you "ownership" of money. Moreover, more money in the hands of more consumers means more production need for the demand which creates jobs. This is how it has -always- worked. It's never ended well when we continuously "hope" the rich will trickle down some of the money their workers earn for them.
