As Kaotic noted, lots of tea partiers already HAVE tossed those guys out on their ass.

Never seen any evidence that any tea partiers want rich folk taxes lowered any more than anyone elses taxes.

Another thing to note is with the way the tax laws work, all those small business owners in LLC or S-type corps with pass-through - are considered "rich" by Obama and the "media" cause their business grosses over 200k even though after costs and paying employee salaries etc a lot of those guys only "take home" like 50k, in many cases less.

Truly rich people and large corps have legions of people like Romeo ( accountants) who make sure they use every loophole available and pay as little as possible. Usually a small army of lawyers as well.

Anyhow, here is what is - in my mind - a true "Tea Party" candidate.

If the so-called Tea Parties can help get candidates like this elected then more power to them.
