T(taxed) E(enough) A (already) This is the original rally cry for the tea party.

The problem with this "rally cry" is that half the country isn't taxed at all, and we down-and-dirty conservatives will need at least some of their votes if we are to gain any political standing. The non-taxed will have to be mentored to gain a belief in the desirability of engaging in worthwhile, and therefore taxable, economic activity.

I think the GOP should put entitlements on the back burner for a while and go after the job killing regulators. Once we start seeing real job creation we can go back to whittling away at the entitlements. Entitlements are a democrat trap made even stickier in a bad economy.

I also think tea partiers should be pointing out the chamber of commerce attack on the tea party to liberals. The chamber knows that tea partiers present a threat to crony capitalism, corporate welfare and bailouts. We should use it to show liberals that tea partiers are better on that score than either party.

Rand Paul’s economic ideas for Detroit and other economically depressed areas is good too. I’d like to see it nationwide for all but we should support it for depressed areas to prove that fiscal conservatism works.
