I was going to write teabagger, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. She's a really nice person. We have become friends on a local blog site, through some charity work. The administrator is Republican/Tea Party and mostly Tea party types on there, with a few liberals scattered around.
Anyway, I've been trying to figure out what they are all about. Her big thing is that we need a smaller government. I counter with the fact that our government is just people. People with jobs... people that would be unemployed if we had a smaller government.
I don't think she, or any of the others on there are convinced that the government is just made up of all of us. It is an evil thing that lurks around every corner. Her biggest thing she wants accomplished is...
getting rid of the Federal Reserve. For the life of me never been able to get a straight answer as to why that would help us. Are there any bankers on here. I've read up on it, but I'm not much good about financial issues, especially the Federal Reserve. If we didn't have it, what would we have instead? And what would be problems be if we got rid of it.
Her other things are that we pay too much taxes, 47% of the people pay no income taxes, and Obamacare is too expensive...
I just need some ammo... especially with the Federal Reserve stuff... She is in the finance industry, not sure exactly what she does. She comes off as pretty knowledgeable, however she gets off on tangents and I am totally lost. And I have 2 BS degrees, so I can learn...
If anyone has any information that can help me out with her, I'd sincerely appreciate it.
