In a New York Times article, Tea Party supporters were interviewed about their beliefs. The article pointed out that many supporters said they supported smaller government and wanted government spending to be cut...but at the same time, they didn't want Medicare or Social Security to be cut (the most expensive government programs). This is nothing new. This contradiction has been brought up a bunch of times (and it's still just as sad). What I especially loved about this article was the response from a 62-year-old Tea Party supporter, when she was asked about this contradiction:
"That's a conundrum, isn't it? I don't know what to say. Maybe I don't want smaller government. I guess I want smaller government and my Social Security...I didn't look at it from the perspective of losing things I need. I think I've changed my mind."
This aha moment brought to you by a-ha*
*a-ha is now embarking on their worldwide farewell tour called "Ending on a High Note" -- they're also on a mission to change the worldwide definition of "high note".
