The original "Tea Baggers" and American Revolutionaries rightfully fought against Imperialists that sought to rob the people with outrageous taxes in order to fill their coffers and fund their lifestyle, wars, etc.
This, however, has nothing to do with the more Liberal Democratic (or even Socialist, but NOT extreme Communist) notion of improving one's nation for the benefit of all... and our society in general!
This is why I am not so much against Conservationism as I am the modern-day far-right Republican ideology, which seeks to embrace the VERY SAME crimes that historical, traditional Republicans/Conservatives fought so hard AGAINST!
When the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer - all the while the hardest working classes doing the most important jobs are still earning the least - you will ultimately end up with a revolution. Just like with France, just like with the American Colonies, just like with the UK's Global Empire, just like with the Russian Czars... it's only a matter of time before something gives.
