The Tea Party
Seen From Growing Up In History
The narrative that explains the Tea Party rests on a transformation in our lives and consciousness that is struggling to be realized, a development of the human mind that has swept our Western history through many such transformations. It is anon-partisan transformation from a society devoted to wealth-creation to one devoted to the well-being of people. In the eyes of angry America, government spending, which has been seen as irresponsible by wealth-creators in the past, is bad whether proposed by partisans of either left or right when people are suffering from loss of jobs and homes.
They are not yet able to realize that when people cannot afford to pay their bills and the wealth-creation beneficiaries in Washington see no reason to do the spending that would help them, there is non-partisan need for government spending to fill the gap and get the economy moving to a non-partisan society devoted to using wealth and wealth-creating technology to promote the well-being and development of people.
Whether they realize it or not, the appeal of the Tea Party is to the post-transformation people who seek to go beyond the values of the past and even the Constitution to fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence for Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,
It is a goal that goes back to 1965, when Paul McCartney sang,
“.When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
