I wonder how an average income earner likes it when their so-called "representative" in washington stands there and obstructs unemployment benefit extensions until the bush tax cuts for the rich are extended. Or when it's time to vote on the simple debt ceiling extension, they nearly drive the entire economy into third world status because they want to dismantle medicare, medicaid and social security. Or when they get elected on the promise of creating jobs and then instead try to destroy the affordable care act which would lower the medical costs of their children forever.

Politicians are dirty rotten scumbags.

The next real tea party will be for the same exact reason as the first one. Calling some of these people "representatives".. well.. it's as if you have to vomit the word out it's just so intensly inaccurate.
