Satire Works for Me -- The Tea-Party's Anthem in a Video

I'm personally much more interested in seeing the US economy continue to dig itself out from under the private sector debt overhang of the 2008 financial markets catastrophe than I am in worrying about reducing Federal safety-net programs in 2014. And no, I don't think we're on a path to spend our grand-kids into indentured servitude because of Federal budget overruns -- thank you very much!

I grabbed the above content from this youtube video ...
Here's a link to the Original Tea Party Anthem -- pretty snappy tune and good performance, I must say. Lots of interesting comments under the youtube video too.
