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

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.

@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.

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.

@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.

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.

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

[goinup9]

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.
