As the economy faces such difficulties more tough questions need to be asked about what the Tories would do if elected. Their ideology of free markets and small government needs challenging. That has to be part of our job.
There are good people and bad people in all organizations fundamentally however when you look at the basis of the Tea Party it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with an economic recovery. It has to do with limiting the role of our government in our lives. It has to do with free markets.
The UK desperately needs less government and freer markets.
I'm not a knee-jerk conservative. I passionately believe in free markets and less government but not to the point of being a libertarian.
Urban America has been redlined. Government has not offered tax incentives for investment as it has in a dozen foreign markets. Banks have redlined it. Industries have moved out they've redlined it.
