How does that fit into your world of stereotypes?

That economic theory is fine, and I wish the government lived within it means and taxed people the right amount when it needs the money, instead of lowering taxes to boost the economy and then say that is the new standard.
The problem I have with Beck and the conservative tea party is that I am afraid of them lowing taxes for corporations and the upper 10%, while sitting by while the rest of America turns into Detroit and they don't care. Now if the Libertarian tea party led by Ron Paul took office, or a Green tea party that would really lead to personal freedom from government and corporations, that would be another story.
