Introducing new board game - Tea Party Monopoly
What you need:
A Monopoly board
A piece of paper
And obviously, players

It's just like a regular game of Monopoly, just with a few new rules.

No Estate Tax:
Divide the players up before the start of the game, one half on one side and the other half on the other. Flip a coin, have one side call it. Whoever gets heads gets an extra 2000 dollars because they're the nephews of the late Uncle Moneybags and they EARNED that money, right? Right?

White Collar Crime:
Never go immediately to jail. Instead you continue on for six turns (And being able to collect property and collect your 200 dollars when you pass Go) before going to jail for one turn. Exception is for the player with the least amount of money where regular jail rules apply.

Trickle Down Economics:
The player with the most amount of money never pays any taxes (In the form of landing on a spot where taxes are paid, from community chest, or chance), if they did, then the game would be considered SOCIALISM.

Corporate Welfare:
With the piece of paper, you make a new card for the Community Chest, the Corporate Welfare card. With this card, any player except for the one with the least amount of money will have the bank pay for their next house or hotel. This is paid for by the player with the least amount of money 'sacrificing' their 200 dollars when they pass Go and then the card will be returned to the pile. If the player with the least amount of money gets this card, then they will simply get 100 dollars.

So have fun, and remember, if it's not Tea Party Monopoly, then it's MARXISM.
