Yup, the Tea Party movement thinks they're defending their own rights, but they're really just shooting themselves in the foot.

Yeah, I know this, and alluded to it in my first post when I said the government (or at least the portion that wants to keep taxes low) has pandering to the businesses and lobby groups. Was just asking some open ended questions.
Whichever way this goes, it isn't going to end well. Been saying it for years, but nothing is going to 'fix' the system or the country short of drastic, borderline revolutionary change. Or, as impossible as it may seem, a cultural awaking of some sort. The average American needs to redefine their American Dream.
I doubt that will happen though. I wonder how long it will be till we hear serious discussion of certain states wanting to separate?
