I was thinking more on the green party or the USA´s comunist party

I don´t know about the Tea Party more than I heard in the news, that is
more or less that they are ultrareligious, ultranationalistic,
ultra-anti-ecologist, ultra-conservative, etc.

Here in Spain there was a  example of that with Jose María Aznar in the
leading role:

While Zapatero´s government (light-right-winged monarchic-catholic
socialdemocracy), there was and advertisment about road security that had
as slogan "No podemos conducir por ti" ("We can´t drive for you"). Aznar,
after praise the wine, said that "Nobody wants the government to drive by
you" .

I was astonished at how often the concept of security and traffic laws was
equated to a big brother doing everything for us.

In the past, for thousand of years probably, there was a perfect economic
freedom, before doing economic laws. Do you really think that it was an
egalitarian society?

I don´t want my sickness being forced to be healed, but If I have a
sickness and I want it to be healed and I can´t afford a heal plan, Must I
die because not having money enough?

Giving freedom or right to live only to people with money is moraly wrong.
