So who is the Tea Party? Why they are a bunch of people that believe our government should operate according to the US Constitution.
25 years ago those people would be considered patriots. Today, the left considers them extremists.
All I know about the Tea Party is what I've heard at the rallies I've attended. ( I was there as a photographer, not an advocate.) The speakers don't want to pay taxes and don't seem to realize that the government can't function without funding.
They want to cut any help for common citizens while ignoring the taxpayer perks enjoyed by the big money people. They say they want to cut the budget and wage more war.
They call Obama a fascist and a communist interchangeably.
This is an example of creating ideology without the benefit of factual information.
An example of our dumbed down population; how many know what happens to the Social Security taxes that are not needed to pay the current retirees?
Mostly I hear people say they are in worthless IOU's.
