I find this development to be a bit intriguing.  I certainly respect those who are worried about the over extension of government.  The American experiment has always had a suspicion about too much government.  That suspicion in some ways has probably served us well.  But I have to say that some of the tea party concerns are not rooted in reality.  Our tax rates these days are not at all high.  In fact, 40-50% of us are paying no income taxes at all.  We need to be honest about this.  I have to wonder if the tea party movement is not something that has come because some people are feeling a loss of power.  Loss of power causes us to do all kinds of things.
