I know the video by heart, thanks. Taxation is the major - but not the only - aspect of federal intervention in the economy. You are correct when you say this intervention in the economy is the core problem that the Tea Party was born to address. You are incorrect to attach any social cause that is not ultimately grounded in government stepping beyond its legitimate bounds.
Here’s a good example that will illustrate the difference between Tea Party and Social Conservative: teaching homosexuality in the schools.
Liberal position: teach kids gay sex
Social Conservative position: it’s immoral to teach kids gay sex, or any kind of sex at all - that’s a parenting function and not a school function
Tea Party position: sex should never make the cirriculum at all, that’s not what schools are for, and if a school has the money to teach that then it has too much money and should get its budget cut by whatever is spent on overreaching nonsense.
Historical note: “Taxed Enough Already” was used as a rallying point for the 4/15/2009 tax protests.
Rick Santelli’s spontaneous rant was in February of that year, so who co-opted who?
Neither you nor “The Tea Party” can or will speak for me.
I will not be directed by you, by the GOP, or “The Tea Party”, or by any other party or organization who thinks they can tell me (a free man) what the “right way to think” is.
[My position on what gets taught in school: Governments should not operate schools.]
You never told me what “priorities” you accused me of “imposing” on you...
...or how it is that you think I will be responsible
for idiots like yourself forming a 3rd party.
Try to get a grip on yourself.
