There needs to be a third party that represents those who are in the middle and does not focus on handouts to buy votes and does not use religion or holy wars to achieve a foothold. That's where the tea party lost me.

I'd say there is a big difference between "giving" someone something, and "taking less from them". "taking less", is notthe same as "giving".
Tax rates on the rich make a great liberal talking point, but it's nothing. Maybe they could pay a few more points, but even if they did, you think that solves anything? We'd still be adding to the deficit each year. The problem isn't too little coming in, it's too much going out, and much of it on stuff that only benefits a small number of people that specific politicians are pandering to.
