Tell the teabaggers - higher pay is better than lower taxes.
There is a forgotten element it seems in the right wingers tea-baggage.

They seem to think that the only way to increase the amount of money in their pocket is to lower their taxes.

If they simply increase their wages, they could pay the same in taxes without it being a burden.

In fact, if this were any other time in history, these same people would be out in the streets demanding more wages, not less taxes.

HIGHER PAY IS BETTER THAN LOWER TAXES.

1. AMEN! That's the whole problem in our economy: STAGNANT WAGES
We've been living on CREDIT and DEBT for decades, when
workers' wages should have risen with productivity,
allowing people to BUY THINGS, not charge them.

4. These same people are probably opposed to the unions that bring higher wages.
And they did get their tax cut, or all these people in the top 1% of taxpayers? Talk about confused. These people are angry and are looking for a convenient target. Gingrich and Armey may not be able to control the ugliness. But I doubt that they give a damn.

5. Tell them the roads they are standing on to protest were paid for
by tax dollars.
