Buffalo Boy's Blog

For those of you who attended the Tea Parties around the country today for the single purpose of protesting increased taxes by Barack Obama and his administration you all wasted your time.

The more I listen to WBEN and other conservative talk radio hosts the last few days you would think we are going to hell in a hand basket. How many people at the Buffalo Tea Party make over $250,000 a year? Guess what, you are the only ones who have to worry about your taxes going....in 2011!!

You were all out there protesting George W. Bush's tax rates. Unless you smoke, then you might be protesting the tax increase on a pack of smokes which I can't possibly see anyone protesting that because for how much smoker cost our healthcare system, smokes should be $20 a pack.

Barack Obama and the feds haven't raised taxes on anyone yet. This is how brainwashed the right wing people in this country are. I do however agree that we need a tea party for New York State so instead of focusing on Obama, redirect your attention to governor Patterson who has threatened us with taxes to our utilities, haircuts and other New York State services to close a budget deficit that he inherited yet the lawmakers in this state have no idea how to fix.

To be out there today protesting Obama though is just flat out stupid. You have all been misled by Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other dickheads that like to think they know what they are talking about and get good results getting their followers to listen to them like sheep.

Last paycheck I got I actually noticed a decrease in the federal taxes that came out of my check. I make less than $250,000 a year. My wife did as well. She makes less than $250,000 a year as well. Together we make less than $250,000. So overall we saw a tax cut in our latest checks, not a tax increase.

I have been rather insulted as should all liberal, democrats by comments made by Rush and Tom Bauerle on WBEN as well. They both were insinuating that the only ones at these "Tea Partys" would be liberals because we don't have jobs. We have no responsibilities and so we have time to get up and go to these things. Well, Mr. Bauerle, and Mr. Limbaugh, I am a liberal and gainfully employed and I can tell you that I had no way of getting down there to our Tea Party here in Buffalo, I was too busy working.

Besides that, the only ones stupid enough to attend these parties and believe in the crap that they represent were all right wing, anti Obama people anyway so you contradicted yourself as you addressed your hick audience today.

We democrats are smarter than that, we know that our current president is not the one who got us into the economic mess that we are in. Where was the outrage in the fall when George W. Bush and Hank Paulson stole $700 billion? Where was the outrage when Bush stood by for his last year in office and did next to nothing to ease prices at the pump or to maybe, just maybe address the housing crisis earlier, before it became this economic mess we are in?

So, your little tea parties today meant nothing, it was a waste of tea and when the price of my iced tea goes up because you right wing assholes dumped it into Lake Erie, I know who to blame. If this is what the republican party has been reduced to, spreading false claims that Obama is ruining the economy and spending too much to fix what George Bush screwed up, then its time to fold the party and start over.
