Rand Paul, Paladino, Miller, Angle...are there any teabagger candidates who haven't been the beneficiaries of government money?

The most common trait of so-called "Tea Party" candidates is that they rail against government spending. The second most common trait of so-called "Tea Party" candidates is that they're the direct beneficiaries of government spending.

The most vocal critics of govt. spending are the ones who get the most welfare whether it be corporate, personal or govt. to govt. aid from the Federal govt. to local and state govt.

I'm pretty sure looking at the demographics of the Tea Partiers that they pay (or have paid) far more in taxes than the majority of their liberal counterparts.

Wow, you guys must really be feeling threatened by the TP with the daily number of hate-posts dedicated to them climbing at an exponential rate this week!
