Tea Party protests Captain America comic book
Robin
often vowed that his duty is to the American dream � and not to any
political party. It�s a lesson that has hit home for Marvel Comics,
Captain America�s longtime publisher, which said it would amend a
recent issue of his comic-book series after it upset members of the
Tea Party movement.
In issue No. 602 of Captain America (Amazon.com: http://tr.im/CA602 ),
the hero and his ally the Falcon find themselves at a rally where
protesters hold signs that read �Tea Bag the Libs Before They Tea Bag
You!� and �Stop the Socialists!� Captain America remarks that the
assembly appears to be an �anti-tax thing,� and the Falcon, who is
black, says he probably would not fit in with �a bunch of angry white
folks.�...

Well, we have to admit that the Teabag movement seems to come right
out of a comic book. Where else but in comic-book-land would anyone
expect to see a band of low-wage earning backwood rubes protesting
against the government taxing wealthy oligarchs?
And that's all the Teabaggers are doing. So far, the Obama
administration hasn't raised anyone's taxes. In fact, one of Obama's
first acts in office was to sign on to a law that reduced taxes on low-
wage working taxpayers--in other words, the Teabaggers. Meanwhile,
Obama wants to let the Bush tax break for the wealthy expire.
So the only people being threatened with higher taxes are the people
who, after deducting all expenses like travel and entertainment, auto,
parking, rent, commissions, professional fees, and gobs of other
outlays roughly related to business, and after depreciating everything
from their limousines to their living room furniture, still have to
report a net income of over $250,000. None of the teabaggers can come
close to that, yet there they are in the streets and in the
auditoriums shouting about taxation of their super-wealthy heroes.
Man, that can only happen in a comic strip.

...And the Liberal Dems/Obamacrats are just as sensitive at having
their own rugs pulled out from under them. It goes both ways.

...Give him time. As soon as his health plans go down the toilet,
he'll get revenge by raising taxes for programs that are notorious for
bureaucracies that use up more funds replacing office carpets than
actually doing their jobs, and then blame the Republicans for having
"brought this on themselves". Carter pulled the same bullshit during
his misadministration.

Excuse me?
Where is the distortion or disrespect found in CAP 602? Captain America
says it is an anti- tax thing and Falcon states his opinion that he
would rather try to avoid that crowd than join it?
How do Teabaggers want the story changed?
The continuity is established that Steve Rogers changed his name to
Palin and married Sarah and raised an ideal family with her?
Steve is embaressed by being seen in Falcon's company and deserts that
sidekick, who is beaten up by the puniest and least confident Teabagger
in the comic.
Red Skull, Doctor Doom and Doc Ock are guests invited to the
Socialist's Secret Lair for a private dinner with their fellow
supervillain, the Socialist, alias Barack Obama!

He's reinstituting the death tax as of January 1, 2011. Right now the
death tax is 0%. As of 1/1/11 it will be 55%. That's a serious
increase. Just because it's not in effect yet doesn't mean he hasn't
done it.

Except that the first 2 million of an inheritance is exempt from
taxation and there are provisions to protect small businesses too. Hope
your comic book info is more accurate than your tax/political info.

It's pretty obvious the liberals have no clue what the tea parties are
all about.
