Before we can talk about what the tea party is scared of we must first define who the tea party is. Contrary to misconceptions perpetrated by the media, the tea party is not a group dominated by backwoods, racist rubes from Bumblestraw, Arkansas. Sure there are some wing nut, racists in the tea party, but the vast majority of tea partiers are a combination of poor, middle and upper class whites who generally align themselves with Republican ideals of small government, low taxes and free market capitalist principles. Plainly speaking, the tea party believes that people should be free to form businesses, make money, and live their lives however they want with minimal government interference. That doesn’t sound too bad, right? So why are tea partiers so vilified and hated by democrats and other non-tea partiers? Because too many tea partiers believe that America is an exclusive club reserved for white men and the women and few minorities they allow in.
