Many of the tea-partiers appear to be an awful lot of old white people, and I don't get the impression (by and large) that they have a copy of the constitution, are willing to give up
any of the benefits they receive from the government, cut military spending or accept increased taxes or really accept anything they don't agree with, "fiscally conservative" as it may or may not be.
The real bumper-sticker should read "cut spending on other people, and reduce taxes for me, and I'll be better off, and that's what counts".
I think that's likely the attitude of most citizens, but the tea-party seems to be doing it under the guise of patriotism and "I'm in it for America", which is garbage.
