[quote=afx114]So what is it then that the tea bagger anti-tax brigade are against? The fact that we pay more taxes than Mexico and Turkey? Please enlighten me.[/quote]
The people who are part of the Tea Party understand that more taxes and more spending are not answers in making the U.S. economy better. They also understand that bigger government does not create more jobs and prosperity. They are also very alarmed at the high amount of debt that the U.S. has and they want that fixed yesterday.
For me, I am against higher taxes for the simple reason that it is against common sense to give money to people who have proved unable to spend it properly. I will be the best judge on how to spend my money, not the government, not anyone else.
There is a certain principle of money and economics that if you are forced to spend your own money, you try very hard to spend it wisely. There is no such concern when you are spending other people’s money.
Those ideas are part of the core Tea Party principles.
