They followed that up with calling themselves "tea baggers", of course they have never been very up with what is actually going on in the country. So after a short time of fake outrage and pretending they never called themselves that. After a few good laughs, the left pretty much stopped calling them that also.
Which leads us to the next re-invention of the "tea party"...where they said it now means T-axed E-nough A-lready. (TEA). Party.
Well whatever they are now, the current version of the "tea party" won. They were "taxed enough already", and President Obama heard them.
Under President Obama, taxes have hit a 30 year low!!
According to the latest data from the Congressional Budget Office, tax rates under Obama hit a 30-year low in 2009, in part because of the tax cuts he implemented in response to the country’s economic downturn:
Americans paid the lowest tax rates in 30 years to the federal government in 2009, in part because of tax cuts President Obama sought to combat the Great Recession, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday. [...]
During Obama’s first year in office, the average tax rate paid by all households fell to 17.4 percent, down from 19.9 percent in 2007, according to the CBO. The 2009 rate was significantly lower than the previous low of 19.4 percent in 2003 and well below the 30-year average of 21 percent.
Congratulations and be sure to thank President Obama for helping keep your taxes low and your money in your own pocket!!
I just have one final question since the "tea party" was so successful, why are republican legislators denying their affiliation with them?
For WATF and anyone who thinks the "tea party" did not originally come up with the term Teabaggers!
