Base mathematics tell you that the Tea Party will continue to grow. Simply because, no matter the party in control, the Administration (and Congress) will need MORE REVENUE to continue to function. More Revenue means . . ? MORE TAXES!
None of those in power are going to be blamed for cutting services, Highway Funds, Natonal Defense and a plethora of things we have grown used to . . So they won't quit spending . . Your money. They will just mandate that you pay more . . .
You're seeing Obozo do this currently with the sequester he planned to use on the Republicans and pass off the blame to them. Well, they're catching some of the blame but so is he. In the end the only person to get hurt here will be the average American taxpayer. He's gonna pay more for less . . .
Thus, the Tea Party will continue to grow until it becomes more than just relevant, but a majority that the Politicians (on either side) cannot ignore!
