Actually I think Canada does a pretty decent job of balancing taxes, social programs and budgeting but I also think Canada has a much more organized govt (at least that's what I gather from talking with my Canadian friends). I think the prevailing idea behind the tea party is that our govt is incapable of getting anything right, they'd just fuck it up beyond repair and leave us with a bigger mess then what we have now...I'm not sure that isn't entirely unfounded either looking at public education for example.
Which is why I think its roots are based in a movement to sort of resurrect the old GOP or better yet old fashioned conservative values of smaller government. Sticking to the point of the thread I'm not sure social issues really factor into that.
