re: #506 Cineaste

I’m sorry but what about the Tea Parties is factually tax based? Big government, sure, but taxation?

First of all, Bush’s tax cuts will almost surely be allowed to expire next year, and they think, quite rightly I think, that in order to pay for all of his bailouts and programs, that it is inevitable that taxes will have to be raised a lot, and not just on those with incomes over $250K.

Also, for the first time in this country there is serious talk of a national sales tax, probably a VAT.

I’m not a tea-partier, bagger or whatever, but I think they’re almost surely right on this.
