John, your style of writing makes is hard for me to understand your point. I read the linked story and had trouble understanding. I can’t find the premise, the point the story is trying to make and all the different analogies confuse me. Can you state your point succinctly and clearly and then provide rationale to support the point in simple terms.

I think your point in responding to my story is that the Tea Party was wrong to try and reduce the federal government deficit spending. Maybe that is not what you were trying to say and you were just trying to explain why the Tea Party failed an was coopted by xenophobic racists. Meaning the Tea Party needed to be stopped because they were messing with the Oligarchs “secret sauce.”

Your writing would be more understandable if you refrained from phases like “secret sauce” or paragraphs like:

Currently banking has fallen prey to the powers that be and they don’t pull the punch bowl away, when the party gets going, just add another bottle of Vodka, when it gets low.

What is the message of that paragraph? I don’t understand. You can think me ignorant for not understanding your writing but I am fairly well educated and work with complex concepts on a daily basis, if I can’t understand it very few of your other readers will.

TEK
