^^^^^^^ CB: TP ideology is not different from standard rightwing US ideology since Reaganism. Balancing the budget, yet cut taxes . That's the supply side economics/Laffer curve of Reagan; cut government social and welfare spending based on the budget not being balanced; that's Reaganite deficit hawkism. Racism, while denying that they are racists; that essential Reaganism. The same critique that Marxists and Communists have been doing for thirty years of the rightwing applies to the TP. They are a fake "new" whatever. They aren't new. They are the same ole-same ole. ^^^^^^^ > If no good socialist critique of the Tea Party is written, you are going to > end up with Sarah Palin as President. > > Can someone let me know where I can find a good socialist critique of the > ideology of the Tea Party?
