It’s always a refreshing sight, when when Republican representatives go home, hold town hall meetings and try to spread their lies about the economy, only to be shut down by every day Americans. This is completely different from Astroturf summer in 2009, when corporate criminals bussed Teabaggers all over the country to disrupt meetings.
At a Thursday town hall meeting in Wauconda, Illinois, Tea Party Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) railed against defense cuts and entitlement programs, telling attendees that Americans refuse to have a discussion about how best to rein in the nation’s deficit and debt. But when Walsh asked how Americans planned to pay for those programs, he was caught off guard by a quick answer from one of the event’s attendees…
…Watch it, courtesy of Americans United for Change:
Republicans continue ignore that the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy are among the main drivers of American debt and that falling tax rates on the rich have led to widening income gaps between the richest and poorest Americans…

He doesn’t know where to find the money? I’ll tell him where! Find it in the Koch brothers’ wallets!
Update: I corrected the state in the title. Apologies. I had WI on my mind.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I liked the way he automatically parroted “Let’s tax the riich”.
That’s a public speaking technique used to buy time and collect thoughts.
If he’s rich we ought to just hold him up! That’s what the govt. has been doing to us for 30 years. These folks are criminals and get away with it. Rethuglicons are terrorists, because they hold the American citizens hostage with their financial dealings. We’re starting to feel like we’re in solitary confinement with no out.
Welcome Loren. 🙂
I think voting them out is a better solution.
One question…..could we throw them (the wealthy) in jail for not supporting their country…like…um…deadbeat dads? I hear Mr. Walsh has experience in this area. I’m just say’n…………………………!!! 😈
Johnny, Debtors prisons went out centuries ago.
……..also, I just noticed that picture of Ray-Gun hanging on the wall in that photo. Boy are they behind the times at that place…………! (It’s President Obama, not Reagan) At least one attendee is forward thinking! 😈
Perhaps the photo was intended as a religious icon.
This blowhard is making more money than he ever did in his life– Cheap deadbeat ?
Probably right there!
Are you sure that’s Joe Walsh in that picture? I thought it was Fonzie 🙂
“Exactamundo!”
Heh Heh! 😈
