Tea Party You’ve Got the Right Idea, Just the Wrong Target

Reading time 20 seconds

There is little doubt the loose amalgamation of folks called the Tea Party has a lot of energy, it’s just too bad it’s misdirected. Throwing the bums out just gets you a different bunch of bums. In a revolution, one dictator is usually replaced by another, who may be worse.

The real problem in Washington isn’t the politicians; it’s the money behind them. Huge amounts of money are poured into Washington to influence politicians, who are for the most part decent Americans, who truly want to help. But, it is hard to turn down special interest money if your opponent in the next election accepts it.
If you want to bring change to Washington, Tea Party people, go after campaign finance reform.

That will be change you can believe in.
