They have taken over the Republican Party and brought it to power in 2010, after which they gerrymandered the congress to stay in power. Of course, the Tea Party itself was just Reaganomics with some steroids added. Saint Ronnie and the Republican Party are joined at the hip, and so are the Republicans to his tax cut philosophy. Bill Maher straightens things outWhat do either of them TRULY know about Republican voters other than what upsets them or scares them doesn't seem to upset or matter as much if at all to us? What are either of them experts on any way? Yes, the national debt has been going up since at least the 1980's. Yes, our financial obligations have been going since at least the 1980's as well. That's old news.
And Rachel Maddow defined the Republican tax meme
What figures like Maddow and Maher do is say well what the experts also say. What has been happening is that taxes have been cut for the wealthy, and stayed about the same for everyone else, while spending on social programs have been cut, and spending for war has been increased. The result when Republicans have been in power is unprecedented deficits, and expanding inequality and poverty.
