Let me be sure we've got this right. Today's 3000 Tea Parties organized by right wingers are protesting tax bloat when in fact the government cut taxes. The effort was touched off by a rant from business "reporter" Rick Santelli, who railed against financial help for homeowners left underwater. But he loved bailots for wall street fat cats. "...helping the folks who carry the water not those who drink it..." so he proclaimed.
The Boston Tea Party was all about raising taxes on Tea done without colonial representation in the British parliament. It led to the American Revolution.
These guys wanna equate that with temporary bailouts approved by their representatives to save the economy ravaged by the pee party on Wall Street. That's revolutionary alright.
