The Tea Party, Void, is a corporate Koch brothers creation.
They can call for budget cuts all they want, what they've done is completely different, like focus on abortion and the like instead of "Jobs Jobs Jobs".
Also, as the Tea Party is addressed in the article, I assume you've not read the OP. Had you read it, you would've noticed the cynical political strategy of calling for cuts to programs that help people while the largest corporations and wealthiest Americans get away with almost no tax burden whatsoever, due to cost shifting, tax loopholes and the steadfast refusal of the (now) Republican party to close said loopholes or raise such taxes.
The best part about cutting services, like Medicare and the like, is that it plays perfectly into the Republican platform of "Government is the problem", often convincing the very same people who've been burned to vote for those who cut the social programs they depend on. It's real genius, actually.
