I just drove past a car in front of the public library covered in Tea Party stickers....

....like "I don't need the government, it needs me!"

They would not have to pay taxes like they want. But all the stuff that Government does not be allowed to them. That includes the 1% that is back this type of thinking! No more Corporate Welfare for them!

6. They have zero clue as to what a true government is, or it's true function.

feel sorry for them and try when the opportunity arises to point out how much they are working against their own interests. (I would also suggest that you attempt to explain why but I realize that that is probably way too much for tea party levels of intelligence to even begin to grasp.)
