>>Tea Party's rallying cry:
>>"let em die!"

The strange thing is that the US was born of revolution over structural disadvantages imposed from afar. Now people calling themselves the Tea Party insist it is the American way to enshrine structural disadvantages for whole citizen demographics that did not get the opportunity to be born with silver spoon in mouth or get noticed by a fairy godmother or enjoy God-given attributes that allow them to rise above their fellows. Young males born into ghettos generally have none of these things and apparently are expected to starve quietly. Makes King George look positively benign.
