I am not against the Tea party. I think they need to kick Sarah Palin out of it..lol
They seem to be being used slightly by people though now. As in Sarah Palin..Michelle Bachmann etc...i could be wrong, i only slightly pay attention to american politics. However it seems to me that the Tea Party is in danger of becoming just a platform to use for attention.
Their main goals are pretty good though...although some are vague.
Identify constitutionality of every new law
Reject emissions trading
Demand a balanced federal budget
Simplify the tax system
Audit federal government agencies for waste and constitutionality
Limit annual growth in federal spending
Repeal the healthcare legislation passed on March 23, 2010
Pass an 'All-of-the-Above' Energy Policy
Reduce Earmarks
Reduce Taxes
Although, i also think it would be a much nicer world to live in if we could just nationalize one thing to pay for healthcare. Say power plants, nuclear. Fuck those guys..lol
As well id like to see most of the SEC fired immediately, and then slowly, replace everyone there.
