New American Tea Party

If you’re as sick of the US Government handing out billions upon billions of dollars to companies when they shouldn’t as I am, join in on the New American Tea Party. 

Information from the facebook group:

We're a coalition of organizations and individuals from around the country that oppose the recent trend of fiscal irresponsibility in government at the local, state, and federal levels.

This isn't a conservative or liberal thing. This is about government forking over billions of dollars to businesses that should have failed. This is about taking money from responsible people and handing it over to CEOs who squandered their own.

This isn’t meant as a partisan stab at anyone.  I didn’t like when the government handed out oodles of money under Bush, and I like the continuing trend even less under Obama.  I thought with the first bailout that it was a dangerous precedent to set, and it has indeed turned out that way.  The madness needs to stop. 

If a business is already bleeding money, why is it going to stop by giving them more?  These people have pretty much already proven they can’t be financially responsible, so why are we pouring more money into their organizations?  It’s irresponsible all around.  And, we, the American taxpayers, are going to be paying big for it for the rest of our (and our children’s) lives.  Isn’t it already way past time to say something about it?

Yeah, I have heard about these tea parties. I am all for it! It makes absolutely no sense to be spending trillions of dollars when we are in a horrible financial state. Tis ridiculous. Let capitalism do what it will instead of having the government take control of everything.
