Well the chief 2 parties have really screwed up this time. Not only have they ruined any semblance of freedom for the current generation, they have buried the next 2 generations so deep in debt, that few of our grandkids will ever comprehend what quality of life feels like. This has prompted a major backlash in America. It has resulted in the tidal wave of support for a fresh party. This new party is collectively being referred to as the national tea party.
Why did we end up like this? The revolutionary war was a end result of people who had been pushed to their breaking point with regulations and ever rising taxes. Sound familiar? This began with the Boston teaparty in which the tea was dumped into the harbor. People then as currently do not like to have the money from their work taken from them and then spent on things they don’t believe in. It was that way then and it is that way currently. You can’t change human nature. People are endowed with rights by the creator and one of those rights is liberty. The founding fathers had no idea that the tyranny of King George would ever be able to rot America ever again. They cautiously wrote our constitution to prevent it from happening.
What they did not realize is that the nation would shift away from Christian foundations to a humanist philosophy of elites determining what is best for the masses. As good as the constitution was, no document is any good if the leaders sworn to uphold it simply pay no attention to it. That is what has happened. Every year little by little, we lose more of our freedoms. Each year more new laws and rules are imposed on us that can imprison us should they be enforced. The undermining of our free market system began after world war II when soviet spies were given positions in our government. Read a great book by Ann Coulter called Treason for an in depth account of how that happened.
Which brings us to today and the proliferation of the tax day tea party movement events everywhere. These aren’t the kooks and extremists that the evening news would have you believe. No these are in reality the traditional normal Americans who understand what freedom and liberty are, and see it slipping away. They are not from any one party. They include members from at least 5 parties from all walks of life, race and religions. When a local hospital closes it’s doors because some law calls for them to treat for free non citizens, that isn’t racist, that is a genuine hardship to citizens. When it is taught in schools that abortion is a choice yet wearing a seat belt is not a choice, there is something wrong. When legislation is going through capitol hill that something a person says can land that person in jail under the classification of hate speech, then something is wrong.
Massachusetts is known as the most socialist sympathetic state as a whole in America. It is nicknamed Taxachusetts. Since the existing leadership with super majorities in both houses can do whatsoever it wants in theory, this makes millions of people anxious. When it was learned that this government was going to bankrupt the country with socialized health care, in which every citizen would be required to buy no matter how poverty-stricken, the revolt of the teaparts even reached into taxachusetts. Scott Brown, a liberal republican promised to put an end to the hated health care takeover and he won the election by a considerable margin.
