I Should be a Tea Party Member?

I was told over the weekend that I should be a member of the Tea Party because I'm in that group that always pays. I'm not retired, on Medicare, unemployed, or disabled unlike so many in the Tea Party. I said that I would join if they weren't so stupid. The above list of people don't realize that those are government programs paid for by people like me. My children also went to private school for most of their school years but unlike the super wealthy I didn't whine about the need to get public money. I took another job instead.
