Tax cuts? Oh, those tax cuts.

I heard the other night that a very small percentage of the Tea Partiers knew that the stimulus package passed in 2009 contained a tax cut for 95% of working families. Someone once said that you are not entitled to your own facts and the Tea Partiers seem to think that they can have there own facts to guide their message. The problem is that their facts are not facts at all! The tax cut is real and their grasp on reality is not. My only regret is that the tax cut that many of them received has helped them paint their signs and travel to various protests. Can we rescind the cuts for them? After all they do not believe that they are real and therefore they would not miss them if they went away. Would they?
