A Young Tea-Partier Talks About the Economy

[vohshkab]

This guy is socially liberal and fiscally conservative - he is not a tea partier because tea party is predominantly socially conservative. He will probably end up either as a mainstream republican campaigner ...

Capitalism pays the already-fat bankers. And I mean fat as in loaded with cash, not with loads of lard.

only dump people are capitalist

The Interviewee is exactly what all of the college students should be like polite, well educated, and knowing how to answer a question with a complete thought. If he is a tea bagger i have no problem with what he is protesting, but what you usually see is uneducated saps who really are only protesting because they heard it from someone else or fox news.

So he's not the most articulate representative and he couldn't rely on a teleprompter like President Obama does. Anyway, it's already been proven that the average teapartier is of above average education so slandering them as idiots is a stupid move.

[MrsOneEyeWonder]

@goinup9 already been proven that tea partiers are of higher intelligence? by whom, got a link or source plz?

[rwargo24]

@goinup9 First off, it's hard to compare an "average" when 1 group has millions of supporters, and the other only thousands. Second, and you can look this up, most Americans who are post-graduate-studies educated are liberal. When you factor that the wealthy are mostly conservative, and can buy their kids 4-year degrees as long as they don't fail, you can easily conclude that the youth that truly desire knowledge and do what they have to to get it, end up liberal. Hmm.more educate=more liberal.

@rwargo24 Your comment may be 1 yr.old but it's logic still burns brightly. You are young, but show a lot of wisdom. You boost my faith in the future. All the best kid. BTW, I'm a 67 yr old liberal warrior.

[sbtech01]

why is this guy at a tea party? he's conservative but normal... not once did he mention hitler or nazi/commi/kfascism/muslim.

If we didn't talk politics I could prob get along with this guy.

[sfordgg]

family courts destroyed this country

[TheEvolver311]

ah the paleoconservatives, they do get drowned out by the extreme social conservatives who are load and dumb by and in large.

[Scardy]

Honestly, it's a perfectly reasonable position, and that is the discourse we need!

[GhostIntoTheFog]

This guy's studying international affairs and political science and he's on the teabagger, "Obama's a socialist" bandwagon? I guess he's not absorbing much.

[quietdaniel]

Are these people going to stand around for the next three years? That's pretty admirable...

[whydid666]

First step the US needs to do to get rid of all socialism and install a true capitalism is to kick public school and post service.......wait now doesn't socialism sounds better then supporting the fat pigs in top hats...any ways I'll go enjoy my free health care :D

[johnedwards1968]

I don't actually think he looked all that stupid. He was pretty level-headed, and much more reasonable than most of the TeaBaggers!

[PensiveZach]

ha they only went to that event because Fox News told them to and their redneck uncle sent them letters about it because he hasn't discovered the internet yet LOL

[TorontoCanuck1978]

The interviewer is not trying to make this person look stupid...he is stupid!!

He equates socialism with a dictatorship....i live in a big bad socialist counrty called Canada and i dont have a dictatorship..fuck you have 2 parties...thats one more than a dictatorship!!

The following things are socialized in the US: Military, post office, police, firefighters etc..whats the big deal with doctors??

give it a rest people, the whoel world cant be wrong.

[theoriginalmarp]

The interviewers seem to me to be arrogant douche bags. Why would you ask them to socialism unless you're trying to make them look dumb.

[ambrosesams]

Well, if you are going to argue that Obama is a Socialist, shouldn't you be on the ball about socialism and what it entails?

[hoomanity]

Next time you should ask people to take out their gum before the interview. lol
