<p>Clean out all incumbents  in 2010

The financial crisis of September 2008 was probably contrived, and probably included some inside help from within our own Treasury Department.  Whether or not these suppositions are true, we do know: 1. Auto industry stock prices have tanked; 2. The UAW has assumed ownership of Chrysler.  This is Banana Republic stuff: The government causes a crisis, and causes the transfer of capital at distressed prices to political buddies.  It is theft, and any politician who participated in the any part of these shenanigans,  or even has supported, in any way, the transfer of ownership as described above, must be removed from office.  Since all Congress (House and Senate) was complicit, a clean sweep is in order for 2010, 2012, and until every last scoundrel is removed from office.

After years of demonizing “Corporations,” we have lost sight of the identity of who are the owners of corporations.  The owners are retirees, either through direct investment, or through portfolios in retirement accounts.  Other owners are institutions, such as hospitals, museums, banks, credit unions, churches, charities, and pension funds.  In all cases, the original investment was made so that the investment would be safe, would be a hedge against loss of value via inflation, and would be available when needed.  In all cases, the origin of the funds was wages paid for legal pursuits.  From childhood, we have all been encouraged to put aside a portion of earnings for emergency use, or for when we are too old to work.

Not only are our savings being handed to friends of our masters, but throughout our lives, a portion of our labor has been confiscated via taxes. What with income taxes, Social Security taxes, property taxes, taxes on fuels,  surtaxes on telephone, electricity, business licences, fees and sales taxes, I remit to some government functionaries (my masters) more than half of what I earn.

I was outraged when I read in Frederick Douglass' autobiography that when he returned from a hard day of caulking ships, he had to empty his pockets, and turn over all his pay to his master (on a few occasions,  he was searched, i.e, audited).  I am just as outraged about handing my money over to a bunch leeches in Washington, Los Angeles, and Sacramento.

Mr. Douglass: I hear you.  I too am indignant about having to empty my pockets for my master, so he may live the good life, feed his ego and his belly from my pocket, while saying he is watching  over me.  That is what the tea parties are about:  The theft of my labor by GOVERNMENT.

The Tea Party Phenomenon.

Current Tea Parties were to send the message to Federal, State, and local governments: LEAVE US ALONE.  GET OUT OF OUR LIVES. 

We cannot communicate with our masters any other way.  Elections are meaningless: the candidates are nominated fraudulently, the votes are not counted honestly, the voters aren’t citizens.  Elections are shams.
 
The Tea Party is our voice.  It’s our last resort.  How else can we express ourselves?

Hey guys and girls: The one on April 15 was practice, Let’s go again on July 4th.  It’s OUR freedom and the fruit of our labor we’re talking about.  Remember Rick Santelli.  Remember Lech Walesa, while you’re at it.  Remember Frederick Douglass!  AND,  need I even mention it? THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, and THEIR CHILDREN.

I know the sign I tote will read:     SWEEP OUT CONGRESS,
                    They are THIEVES.
