[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Tea Party website, these are the core beliefs of the TP:
1. Illegal aliens are here illegally.
2. Pro-domestic employment is indispensable.
3. A strong military is essential.
4. Special interests must be eliminated.
5. Gun ownership is sacred.
6. Government must be downsized.
7. The national budget must be balanced.
8. Deficit spending must end.
9. Bailout and stimulus plans are illegal.
10. Reducing personal income taxes is a must.
11. Reducing business income taxes is mandatory.
12. Political offices must be available to average citizens.
13. Intrusive government must be stopped.
14. English as our core language is required.
15. Traditional family values are encouraged.

So, with which ones do you have a problem?  I have to say, these are pretty reasonable to me. [/quote]

Much of that list I can get on board with.  I disagree that gun ownership is "sacred".  I disagree that income taxes must end.  Disagree that business taxes must be reduced.  Maybe SMALL business income taxes should be reduced but corporate subsidies must end.  I don't mind encouraging traditional family values but I do mind legislating them.  I think it's great if govt wants to ask, "How can we improve our society to make life easier for families and thus help them hold it all together?"  Not anti gay, anti gay marriage, anti single mother, anti food stamp, anti abortion, anti birth control.  As long as family values manifests itself in homophobia and misogyny, the Tea Party is a no go for too many.

And the list above fails to mention their God awful, blatant racism.  [/quote]

Which number says income taxes must end?[/quote]
