Instead, Romney used his time to rebuke Obama and did not express his position as much. “Why am I lowering taxes on the middle-class? Because under the last four years, they've been buried,” Romney said. Even though, Romney tried to overcome Obama; Obama fought back better than the last presidential debate. When Romney attacked Obama for hindering the use of coal, the President recalled an appearance of Romney as governor of Massachusetts, where he vowed to shut down a coal-fired power plant.
Hancock began his political career in Boston as a protégé of Samuel Adams, an influential local politician, though the two men later became estranged. Hancock was elected as moderator at a Boston town meeting that resolved that anyone who supported the Tea Act was an "Enemy to America". Hancock and others tried to force the resignation of the agents who had been appointed to receive the tea shipments. Hancock was at the fateful meeting on December 16, where he reportedly told the crowd, "Let every man do what is right in his own eyes." Hancock did not take part in the Boston Tea Party
Wendy Warner Intro to American Government William Schweers February 7, 2012 “Tea Party” The name “Tea Party” is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, a protest by colonists who objected to a British tax on tea in 1773 and demonstrated by dumping British tea taken from docked ships into the harbor. Some commentators have referred to the Tea in “Tea Party” as the backronym “Taxed Enough Already”. The Tea Party movement is a political movement in America aimed at clearly communicating to Washington its displeasure with government spending.

IRS Scandal Amanda G HUM 111 IRS Scandal The topic is the IRS scandal. To use the strategies for applying creativity to problems and issues with this topic, takes a bit of thinking. By taking the novel approach (Ruggiero, 2012) to address the topic I would take the information tell it like it is stated in the article and then twist it to show that what they were doing is in fact wrong.

The IRS was using political party information to single out groups from the Tea Party and make it harder for them to get tax exempt status (Marsden, 2013).

The United States has a running history of populist movements spurring up in retaliation during periods of economic hardship, and the 2008 financial crisis is no exception. Sparked by Rick Santelli’s response to Barrack Obama’s mortgage relief plan, the Tea Party movement, unlike its predecessors, brings its focus on to the federal government, rather than a lack of trust of business in general (Tea Party Movement). Lacking any one true leader, the Tea Party movement rallies around core values and beliefs for guidance and its stances, but its exact direction varies. While the Tea Party movement is based on the sound fundamental principles of fiscal responsibility, and free market economics, constitutionally limited government, their ability to change the course of our economics and
