Tea Party candidate taken behind the woodshed by an old man asking a simple question

[Heywood]

Your questions weren't germane to the thread. I largely ignored them for that reason, and because I was thinking about doing a thread where they would be answered.

The OP believes that DP's questions are absolutely germane to the secondary point of this thread. The OP further wonders why you never bothered explaining how you can have any sort of basic infrastructure that is functional for everyone without government funding it.

Tea partiers advocate responsible spending(don't perpetually borrow money) and reforming how taxes are collected. They do not advocate eliminating spending or eliminating taxes.
