how does a republican claim themselves as a tea party representative and collect government funds of any kind?

these republicans cry when the government doesn't snow plow there street, the cops, the government not working fast enough, they apply for social security, medicare and etc. but at the same time don't want to pay taxes. where do republicans think these programs get money from. its not the tooth fairy.

Update:

i am not saying anyone deserves or doesn't deserve programs. i am saying if you think that future generations don't get the same stuff or you don't want to pay taxes. but then turn around and ask for government programs that they don't want to pay for. like congress calling for the end of disaster relief federally. but during the tornadoes. republicans are crying for government assistance. that's really hypocritical.

Update 2:

q burt-the republicans were asking for federal funds. and social security and medicare are all federally funded.

    Timothy Geithner didn't pay his taxes. You do know who he is don't you.

    Tea Party people do pay taxes.

    Big difference between federal and state taxes. Read the Constitution and look up the Tea Party platform...you might actually get a little educated.

    Much o the anger is directed at those him they feel do not deserve the social programs. They see the poor an even veterans sometimes as unworthy of getting help.
