America is falling apart: How the Tea Party can save us

America is falling apart. The IRS abuses reveal that the government does not work. It is too big. It is politicized. There is no true professional class. And the structural decay is now apparent; the federal government is as corroded as the New Jersey bridges. Detroit is dead. Parts of Baltimore are dead and Philadelphia.

Possibly today we are on the edge of free fall.
