Teabaggers want less government

[jmondine]

More specifically, they want less "Government of the people, by the people, and for the people". In fact, they would be overjoyed if such a government would simply "perish from the Earth".

1. No they don't. They just want a gov't run by rethugs with no minorities

involved.

[my2sense]

2. and no benefits for minority taxpayers......n/t

[gratuitous]

3. In the sort of minimalist government they prefer

I envision Tea Baggers collectively as the fat guy who dances when the bad guy shoots at his feet and his pals laugh.

4. No, they want less of the government they don't want.

They want medicare and social security, fire and police protection, and good roads. They don't want education, welfare, health care for all, etc.

6. They don't want to pay for any of it though

They want medicare and social security, they just don't want to pay for it.

5. They want less democracy

The idea that people will vote for anything they don't like enrages them.

7. Can't have a free country without law. Can't have law without gov't. Seems simple to me. (nt)
