Tea Parties and Socialism

Watching the news lately its hard not to notice the Tea Party movement. Seems they're everywhere. Actually they are. Most of them are part of a travelling road show going from city to city trying to get others to join, kind of like the Dead Heads following the Grateful Dead. Its not that every city has a lot of them, its that the lot of them travel to every city. Take Tom Grimes for example. He has been out of work for fifteen months now. A former financial advisor who after being laid off called his congressman to help him get Cobra health care coverage. Cobra standing for Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act, is government sponsored health care. That's right, this tea bagging asshole is out organizing people against government health care. At the same time he is telling people that government health care is bad, he is using it himself. He is also collecting unemployment benefits, another social program. Why, if he is so dead set against government intervention is he happy to take the free ride from the government? Ironic since he has been quoted as saying that if the government would just cut people off they would have to find a way to survive. Seems he is taking advantage of his benefits to rally people against the same government that provides him with income and benefits. Maybe if the government cut him off it would force him to spend his time looking for ways to make ends meet, instead of being a part of the travelling Tea Party roadshow. Take a look at the Tea Party people on the news. Most of them are most likely collecting either Social Security, Medicare, or Unemployment. When Ronald Reagan was Governor of California he cut off funding for students going to state colleges stating "Why should I pay for these kids college when they all are against me anyway". Maybe our federal government should do the same. Better yet maybe the Tea Baggers should all sign a petition saying that they wont use any government social services. So lets take a look at all the social services the country or state provides. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unemployment, Police, Fire, Schools, Libraries, U.S. Post Office, Roads and Highways, Bus and Rail Service, Sidewalks, Drinking Water and Sewer services, Parks and Beaches, Public Zoos, Hospitals, and Medications that were developed form government grants. The list goes on and on. It's just that people do not realize just how much their government does for them. Every Tea Party activist better take a look at the reason they are able to do what they are doing, is because of the government and someone should tell them that. Although I don't think it will sink in do to the fact that they are too stupid to separate fact from reality.
