"...there ain't nothing that a man likes better than a good piece of ass."
Most of you have heard of the April 15th protests that are happening around the country. By now you’ve seen them advertised on TV or in your local fishwrap about how Rich-Wing Republicans are getting together to eat pork sandwiches, throw teabags all over the place, and then march to whatever Governmental Building they happen to be close to and have some kind of rally.
Just what is this supposed to accomplish?
Does this do anything but let those of us who are unemployed and in trouble and in desperate need of a job right now that we do not matter to them at all?
Does this do anything but say to the unemployed, underemployed and underutilized out here that we do not count as people, that we are all “unpersons?”
Is this anything other than a way for Newt Gingrich and his ilk to say to the rest of the world in regards to our futures “Let them eat cake?”
Well, if that’s the way they want it, then I say BRING IT ON!!!
I say if they want us to eat cake then that is what we shall do!
They want to devour pork as a symbol of “wasteful spending” , then we should eat cake as a symbol of their callous attitudes towards us.
I know that this will probably not get organized in time for Wednesday but since most of the “Teabaggers” seem to be Republicans who are well off, have jobs and don’t want to have to pay their fair share, since they all seem to have a problem with the middle-class and blue-collar workers whom they see as peasants, why not do what Marie Antoinette was reported to have suggested? You remember the quote: “If they cannot afford bread, let them eat cake.”
So that is what I am suggesting as a counter-protest to the “Teabaggers”. I propose that all of us who are being shut out and turned away for employment by the “Teabaggers” should have a party of our own.
A “Let them eat cake” party.
If they are going to be eating pork sandwiches and tossing teabags around into bodies of water and mailing used teabags to the White House, then we should be mailing cakes to our representatives in Congress. We can mail Cheesecakes to Congress, Bundt Cakes to Wall Street, Cupcakes to FOX News, 7-layer Pineapple Upside-down Cakes to the Banks, and Fruit Cakes to Boss Hogg eeeerrrrrr I mean, Rush Limbaugh. While they are marching and chanting about “taking the country back” then we should be marching alongside them chanting “Give us our jobs back.”
Failing that, if this can’t get organized that quickly because it is such short notice, then all of you should think about getting some of your unemployed and underutilized friends together and you should just eat cake. All day. Cake for breakfast, cake for lunch, cake for dinner, any kind of cake you could possibly want. Cheesecake, layered cake, cupcakes, pineapple upside-down cake, whatever cake you could find. Just eat cake! After all, it’s what we peasants do. It’s what the “Teabaggers” actually want us to do, so why not do it?
I plan on eating cake on April 15th in protest of the protest. I hope that all of you will join me…
…and I hope someone remembers to bring the Alka-Seltzer to the party, just in case.
[...] The grievances were real. And one of the possibilities is what Rush Limbaugh tells you: “ Forget “teabagging”, Let them eat cake instead – bigdaddycool.info 04/14/2009 “…there ain’t nothing that a man likes better than [...]
Here, Here! I will join you. I like cake. It is shameful that the teabaggers don’t keep up with the times. We all know the meaning in this day and age and They should, too, or at least learn the lingo. Anyway, I would love to get my job back. I would like to be able to live comfortable again, and be able to save more, since I am having to live what savings is left!
It is terrible that they want to protest higher taxes for themselves. They aren’t so special. If the rest of us unemployed, and struggling poor middle class workers have to, then they should! they aren’t anymore special than you or I. I will gladly eat cake, and yell I want my job back or any job for that matter. And if it ends in a food fight, so be it!
Welcome aboard. And you’re right, they are no better then you or I and these protests are them saying that they are better then us somehow. They should be grateful that they have jobs for now instead of complaining about a tax that they don’t even have to pay yet.
I say tax them on everything like they do us and if they make more than the average joe, and in the upper hundred thousands mark, a little more for the heck of it. We are struggling as it is, and can only imagine what they spend their monies on. If I have to pay Uncle Sam for last year’s taxes, then by gosh, so should they. I have seen so many politicians this year conveniently forget to pay their taxes. If it were you or me, we would be fined big time, and haunted until it was paid in full. What makes them so special? It isn’t fair and it isn’t right, especailly when we All know one does not conveniently forget to pay taxes. It is ground into us even before the 15th of april deadline! Don’t they get a check stub?
You know what I really want? I want the same access to the Caymen Island Tax Shelters as they have. There was a report that came out, because of all of the corporations and millionaires who hide their money in the Caymans, we have to make up the difference. The difference that we had to make up last year was $100 billion.
$100 freaking billion!!!!!!
How can I hide what’s left of my money like they do?
[...] other words their attitude for the rest of us was “let them eat cake”. So in response I suggested that everyone out there who was unemployed should have a “Let them eat cake”…. It didn’t make as big a splash as I would have wanted, but I think I got my point [...]
