I just don't get the Tea Party

[lurkingdirk]

So...20% of Tea-partyers make more than $100k/year. 70% describe themselves as "well-off." Taxes have gone down for 90% of Americans this year (yes, that is a provable stat). So what's up? Can someone explain this to me without bullshit rhetoric, party catch phrases, and not in an angry tone?
