A well written piece. Thanks for the post, rb.
This section & many others are quote-worthy:
"A hall full of elderly white people in Medicare-paid scooters, railing against government spending and imagining themselves revolutionaries as they cheer on the vice-presidential puppet hand-picked by the GOP establishment. If there exists a better snapshot of everything the Tea Party represents, I can't imagine it."
I'm especially saddened by the pervasive notion that many of us relying on government
help, are most unworthy...especially the brown ones.
On a positive note, my foodstamps will increase by five dollars this month.
