For all the aspersions cast and criticisms leveled at the TEA Party movement, the fact remains that it consists of real citizens standing up on behalf of other tax paying citizens and saying to the government bureaucracies “Enough is enough!” Here in this panel discussion of Texas citizen activists you’ll find, among other things, information to support the assertion that the education establishment’s cry for more money from those who are more than Taxed Enough Already is overblown. With one non-staff employee for every staff teacher in Texas it’s becoming obvious that they need to better account for the money they’ve already been given.
