I agree with you completely. Except, I think the original tea parties (as events) were as much about the "how much is this shit going to cost me?" component. I don't really care about the spending, I care about the taxing. If they want to have a bake sale on the Capital steps to finance a bridge in Alaska - no problem. If Pelosi and Frank want to give hummers at $50 a pop to finance the saving of San Francisco's salt water marsh mouse, I'll bring them each a pillow for their knees. Topless carwash at the White House to support a new food initiative? Go for it.

It ain't the spending - it's what happens after the spending.
