YEAH, BABY! Maybe they all got raptured?
Next on the teabagger agenda, the yahoos will ensure that they have NO tools with which to fight their corporate masters, should they ever decide to do so:
QuoteOlson said the legislative losses will motivate Tea Party members, adding they will turn their focus now on a bill to cap punitive damages in lawsuits and other legislative issues.
Other Tea Party activists agreed.
:lulz:
All TWO of them?
:lulz:
YES. :lulz:

How do they even begin to justify this?

If they support the rich, they'll be rich one day, too. It's a club that you get into like that.
No, they really believe this.
I'm not sure that they actually believe that they will become rich, though they may see it as a possibility.
I think it goes like this. No-one wants to see themselves as a bad person, so they try and rationalize away all their flaws as not really flaws. These people are really just extremely selfish and materialistic. They don't want to give up any of their things and are unconcerned if they hurt anyone in their quest for more things. They then try and rationalize these beliefs as perfectly okay or even normal. However they change their minds when they are on the receiving end. All that talk was just bullshit attempts at rationalizing their greed and lack of concern for others as okay. Since they really just want to maximize their amount of things, they'll readily take any given to them. They also expect others to pay for any damage done to them or their things, even though they don't want to do the same. If questioned on this they will try and rationalize why they really deserve it, or why they were more truly wronged.
Of course this is extremely hypocritical but it is far easier to be hypocritical than to even just accept your flaws as flaws, much less actually do anything about them.
