Tea Partiers “A lot of us have done okay, but we don't want to lose what we've got, see it given away.” When I ask him what he saw as being “given away,” it was not public waters given to dumpers, or clean air given to smoke stacks. It was not health or years of life. It was not lost public sector jobs. What he felt was being given away was tax money to non-working, non-deserving people — and not just tax money, but honor too. … “These days, American men are an endangered species too.” A Tea Partier quoted by Arlie Russell Hochschild, in Strangers in Their Own Land © 2017 Kwiple.com
Tea Partiers Virtually every Tea Party advocate I interviewed for this book has personally benefited from a major government service or has close family who have. … Most said, “Since it's there, why not use it?” But many were ashamed and asked me to dissociate their identity from such an act, which I've done. But shame didn't stop those who disapproved of public services from using them.  Arlie Russell Hochschild, Strangers in Their Own Land  © 2017 Kwiple.com
