Abstract:
In this educational, appropriately direct, and concise book Mr. Salisbury sets forth the substantive issues that make the Tea Party a diversion from the interests of main street America. The Tea Party is supported by big-money interests that are willing to play to the diversionary social interests of Tea Party members and the Tea Party’s willingness to be paid to do campaign work. The concern about the national debt, while partially appropriate, was created in the George W. Bush administration by financing a needless Iraq war, a new federal Department of Homeland Security, and a mistaken tax-cut; all off- budget.
