The Tea Party is different from the old line conservative tradition of the NRO, the Tea Party believes in more accurate government, a central government that matches the tax and spend to the economic units of the nation. And the closest thing we have to accurate government is the House of Representatives, the farthest we are from accurate government is the Senate.
Why the Tea Party should support the expiration of the tax cuts? Tax cuts shut down the Senate, they are the group that mis-spends borrowed money. From the Tea Party perspective, both the conservatives and liberals have a goal, jam national standards into our lives, a very inaccurate form of government. They use the Senate to do that.
So, Tea Party, go with earmarks for your district, go with Build America Bonds, both very well matched government programs. Then use high tax rates to shut down the Senate. Believe me, rich political donors will love this program, because they exist in your district and they benefit from accurate government.
It is a fair trade, and it will work, Progressive taxes shut down the Senate, and that is good. Earmarks should replace entitlements, that is good.
