Tea Party not new

3 min read

The tea party mob isn’t new. It is not a grass roots movement. It is artificial turf, meaning a fake grass roots movement.

The definition of a grassroots movement means, it is started locally for a cause by volunteers. The 99 percenters are a good example of a grass roots movement. It’s not affiliated with any political party or outsiders such as Grover Norquist or the Koch brothers.

However most tea party mob members have been hoodwinked by a sinister even demonic hidden agenda. It is funded so far with more than $300,000,000 from big industry, the billionaire Koch brothers and “Lobbyist Grover Norquist.”

The Tea Party and Republican party are puppets of Norquist and the ultra rich. Their hidden agenda is to finish what their daddy David Koch Sr. started in 1980.

David’s agenda was to persuade the Reagan administration to completely cut Social Security, all social programs, EPA, OSHA, Food & Drug Administration, etc. That is the evil hidden agenda of the tea party.

President Reagan was off to a good start by union busting. That really got the ball rolling by helping to bring down the living wage and fringe benefits paid by many employers at that time.

I was briefly in the middle class from 1978 through 1981 employed by US Steel. My wife stayed home with our two children. My wages alone provided all our needs. Then the United Steel Workers twice gave significant concessions to US Steel to modernize and save the steel industry supposedly from bankruptcy. What a lie that was.

In 1984 my mill was closed and US Steel bought Marathon Oil Co. with our concessions and tore the mill down. Since then I haven’t had a living wage.

In 1984 I was hired at Brad Reagan and employed for 10 years, and it closed and moved to Denano, Pa. In June of 1996 I started working at Sony for $8.50 an hour. The management at Sony always told us how well we were paid, Ha, ha. Wake up people. The founders of The tea Party mob and Republicans want to do away with the minimum wage. Ask presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Also this Tea Party mob is going to try and finish what Bush and Cheney started in 2000. That is, to finish dividing America. Cheney and Carl Rove are very good at what they do. United We Stand. Divided We Fall. What a truth that is. Then the 1 percent will have all of us peons at their mercy. They won’t pay a living wage and benefits again. It may be a loaf of bread for a day’s wages.

No one need take my word. Go do your own research on the net, newspapers, different news media and you can trace the Tea Party mob to its beginning.

The messsage was clear when Tea Party mobs at Republican debates cheered when Cain said the people who don’t have jobs and are not millionaires, it’s their own fault.

They were cheering for the executions in Texas. Then there was the hypothetical question about a 30-year-old man who didn’t buy health insurance and was in a coma. There was a question about who should pay the hospital bill?

Someone in the mob said let him die and there was applause and cheers from the mob. That’s un-American and un-Christian.
