The reason I post this is people were discussing how to handle the potential arguments that you may encounter talking to people on the street.
Tea partiers will on the surface cloak their ideas in lighter more vague arguments. They will argue with you about a company paying their taxes.
I had a very long argument with one last week who was making excuses for corporate tax dodgers. When it came down to it he really thought that
companies should not have to pay any taxes and had zero problem with companies illegally hiding money or otherwise violating IRS an federal law.
The really dedicated tea partiers that are deeply invested in this whole ideology actually want corporations to be in charge of everything instead of the government and the people. They seriously think this is a good idea. They also want to dismantle public education and replace it with a private corporate run education system.
These crazy ideas at least make sense in the way that you can see how they came to these ideas after reading the buzzflash article. In their heads all of this insanity is a good idea.
People that brushed with the tea party during the last election because they were mad about paying their taxes and the govt. not giving back, those people you could sway to what we are promoting. The deeply invested into this Koch brothers, John Birch society mindset members of the Tea Party are never going to come around. They seriously want the entire government dismantled and corporations to run everything. It feeds into their damaged psyches. Just be aware of what your dealing with if you run into one of these people. They are anti-government and care nothing for logic or reason. Your best to avoid an honest argument with these types and focus on getting the facts out to everyone else that doesn't know yet how bad BofA is ripping us all off.
