...Who is the tea party? (click here) Well, understand, when I was in school I studied government, among other things. And prior to World War I and after World War I we had the anarchists. Now, they were violent. Some say that's what started World War One, the anarchy movement. But they were violent. They did damage to property and they did physical damage to people. The modern anarchists, don't do that. That's the tea party. But they have the same philosophy as the early anarchists. They do not believe in government. Any time anything bad happens to government, that's a victory for them....
Senator Reid needs to pass a bill in the Senate stating no paychecks for anyone for the same length of time the government is unfunded after the funding is passed. In other words, if the government is not funded for a week, then the Congress receives no pay for the week of deadlock and an additional week as a tax to make up for the damage that occurred during that week of disruption.
Call it "The Tardy Tax." For everyday the Congress is tardy at doing the work assigned them they are doubly taxed as a penalty.
