With so much attention paid to the Tea Party and its potential effect on the 2010 midterms, little has been made of the swath of Americans unhappy with our current course but who fail to identify with the perfervid strain of anti-government rhetoric espoused by Tea Party activists. Anxiety ridden, perplexed, apoplectic, and unsure – the Main Street party isn't upset with a growing government but instead a shrinking collective wallet. Comprised of mostly moderate, middle class Americans, the Main Street party is looking for sensible, enduring solutions to the economic crisis that provide all stripes with a fair opportunity at realizing the "American Dream." The Main Street party isn't concerned with rigid ideological debates about the role of government or the arcane legislative process in Washington, they simply want to know which politicians are going to provide economic prosperity, keep their families healthy, and their nation safe now and for generations to come. The party that can adequately address these concerns will win over the Main Street Party, the politically independent and moderate block of voters who decide the outcome of every American election.

“We came into office with a different view about how our economy should work. Instead of tax cuts for millionaires, we believe in cutting taxes for middle-class families and small-business owners. Instead of tax breaks that encourage corporations to create jobs overseas, we believe in tax breaks for companies that create jobs right here in the United States of America. We believe in investments that will make America more competitive in the global economy — investments in education and clean energy, in research and technology. These are the principles that have guided us over the last 19 months, and these are the principles that form the basis of the additional economic proposals that I offered this week.”
