ASSUMPTIONS OF THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT - DAVID W...

This book presents a reassessment of the fundamental principles of the Tea Party movement. The
Tea Party movement is largely associated with those who want a severely limited federal
government spending far fewer taxpayer dollars. What gets less attention are the underlying Tea
Party sentiments that  the book argues  are not so much false as they are terribly dated in
light of the current national landscape. Such sentiments include prioritizing self-reliance 
viewing politics as a ¿dirty business ¿ considering ¿free enterprise¿ unassailable  and
believing the earth to be man¿s possession. Brown skillfully and thoughtfully breaks from
partisan considerations to get at the root of the movement  arguing that too many Tea Partiers
are living in a world of their own  which  given so many pressing problems in the world 
amounts to what Brown calls ¿sentimental mischief.¿
