Pictures from our Billionaires for Wealthcare Rally today - and our invasion of the teabaggers
Advertisements [?]
We had a Billionaires for Wealthcare Rally today in Kansas City. It was fabulously fun. We got all dressed up.






We even had a limo.





















During our get together we found out the local teabaggers were at the NBC affiliate protesting against Keith Olbermann. It just so happened that the NBC station is only 2 blocks from where we had gathered the billionaires. So we decided to join the teabaggers.

We walked over there as a group and were joined by a couple who was going to the rally. They saw our signs and said they didn't have a sign so we offered them one of ours. :)

As we got to the teabagger rally, we were greeted by lots of smiles and cheers. Then slowly, one by one, they figured out who we were. :rofl:

We refused to stand on the sidewalk paid for with socialist tax dollars so we gathered behind the teabaggers on the grass. We had a bullhorn and we thanked them for making us wealthy and for George Bush and for Halliburton and for all that money we had made in the 21st century. You can see a couple of our signs in this picture:



For awhile, the teabaggers just stood there and looked at us. They had some woman on the other side of the street chanting things that didn't make any sense and we responded as well as we could. When she said anything about health care, we thanked them for their premium dollars that made us wealthy. If she mentioned taxes, we reminded them that we didn't have to pay taxes because they do. This really made one girl angry. She told us she was poor and couldn't afford to pay higher taxes for government health care. We assured her we opposed all govt health care including Medicare and we appreciated a tax system that allowed us to pay no taxes because she paid enough to cover our share.

This man kept running out in the middle of the street. We told him that we hoped he didn't get hit because we didn't want to spend any money taking care of him.



A few of the teabaggers finally grabbed a bullhorn and began chanting back at us. Their chant was: "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" then they would laugh and repeat "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH". (Yes it felt like 3rd grade on the playground) This did remind us of school so we told them their chant was proof of the failure of socialist public education.



A grand time was had by all. What a perfect day!

Oh but one problem. The teabaggers had advertised their rally was about that evil librul Keith Olberman but they had no signs condemning Keith. Hmm.

They did have one sign I should have gotten a picture of. It said "NO END OF LIFE COUNCELLING" I asked the man holding it if he was talking about using cell phones. He gave me a funny look and I said "Your sign says coun CELL ing". He looked at his sign and then said "Oh so it's about the spelling and NOT the message, eh?" I assured him he was correct. :)

See, it is possible to share a message with teabaggers.
