Destroying the rich, destroys the poor.

Huh?

The people who organized the American revolution were rich men who
didn't want to pay taxes and did not have a problem with slaves,
indentured servants and overthrowing the government.

The tea party is pretty tame in comparison


Firstly, many of the American rev. DID have a problem with slaves.

But, yes, by comparison they're pretty tame. The difference of course
is that the teagaggers are mostly middle class, and were hoodwinked by
the very rich and connected to get THEIR taxes lowered. They tend to
have a poor understand of what gov't does, think it's evil, right up
until they're affected. Given the made up crisis of the debt ceiling,
the S&P downgrade, the market drop, they'll find out shortly that
they're the ones most affected.
