Currently, almost fourteen million Americans are unemployed. These Americans cover every race, ethnicity, and social status, and the economy of the United States is spiraling into a shambling debacle. As a result, President Obama recently proposed his 447-billion-dollar “Jobs Bill” to potentially alleviate the burden of countless unemployed Americans. However, despite the current national crisis and Obama’s attempts of mitigation, numerous political parties oppose Obama’s bill. These partisan maneuverings delay governmental actions that would help the American people: glaciers move faster than our political process. Most tellingly, the Tea Party Movement’s opposition to the “Jobs Bill” tyrannically manipulates the crisis, thus hurting the American people and transforming the world of politics into a government solely run by inert self-interests.
The Tea Party Movement’s objections to Obama’s “Job’s Bill” manipulates the current economic crisis and derives from the personal desires of some movement members. For instance, Michele Bachmann, the leader of the Tea Party Caucus who opposed the bill, is using the movement as a personal effort to stay relevant in the 2012 presidential race and to sell her book. Likewise, Sarah Palin, a member of the movement, was paid 100,000 dollars to speak at the National Tea Party Convention, thus economically benefitting herself. In her speech, Palin repeated assailed Obama’s policies and ideas. Using the economic vulnerability of the nation as a springboard, these party members have created a tyrannical consensus by manipulating the crisis through dogged objections of Obama’s relief plans. If the movement truly has America’s best intentions at hand, it would specifically act in ways that would help the unemployment crisis, such as passing the “Job’s Bill,” creating national work programs, and initiating lower interest rates for startup companies. Essentially, the tyranny of consensus revolving around self-gain motivates the Tea Party to negate proposals of alleviation.
Because the Tea Party is naysaying efforts to create jobs, Americans are suffering from the negative effects of the tyrannical consensus and the world of politics has lost its original democratic intentions. Specifically, Obama challenged the Tea Party Movement “to identify specifically what [it] would do. It’s not enough just to say, [create more jobs]” because the movement cannot “magically…[expect] things are going to work.” While the 66 members of the Tea Party Caucus in Congress are naysaying plans of relief, the jobless citizens of America are struggling to make ends meet. These negative effects of the tyrannical consensus are derived from the nation’s susceptibility to conform to new ideas because of the unemployment crisis. Furthermore, “politics” is a process of actions for the people, but nowadays, as shown by the Tea Party Movement, these actions “for the people” are sometimes made to benefit the decision-makers themselves. The original intention of the founding fathers was to set up a system of governmental politics to address the needs of the people, not to elevate government members. Essentially, the Tea Party naysayers and the transformation of politics have led to the inhibition of job creation.
The Tea Party’s constant negations of mollification for unemployed Americans symbolize its tyrannical manipulation of the unemployment crisis. Ultimately, Americans are in distress and the shift from politics to personal gain has never been more painful. Unfortunately, some people of the movement absurdly believe that “Obama and his minions are conspiring... to con the American people into accepting global slavery,” thus swaying the opinions of some citizens. However, if Americans can learn to adhere to their own opinions and disregard the manipulators of a crisis, the nation will retain a strong base for political action to prevent future governmental ludicrous.
