Weak Tea 0
Writing at SWVA Today, a small regional website in Southwest Virginia, Robert Cahill takes a common sense look at teabaggery.
His sensible analysis deserves wider currency. A nugget.
That’s why I am so puzzled by the folks calling themselves the Tea Party and their man in Congress, John Boehner. They seem to think they are the average American but they, or at least their leaders, surely have a different vision of being a citizen than I do.
Last year, according to recent news reports, General Electric made over $14 billion.Yet thanks to the large number of tax breaks available to mega-businesses, such as GE, they did not pay any federal taxes. That’s what I read: GE paid none. Apparently Boehner and his buddies think this is just a wonderful arrangement. Me, well I don’t think it’s so fine and dandy.
