The problem with the Tea Party is that it's been used in a way that scares people into supporting an agenda that's counter to their own interests.

The threat posed by Bank of America isn't just financial - it's a full-blown assault on the American dream. Where's the incentive to play fair and do well, when what we see rewarded at the highest levels of society is failure, stupidity, incompetence and meanness? If this is what winning in our system looks like, who doesn't want to be a loser?

In a pure capitalist system, an institution as moronic and corrupt as Bank of America would be swiftly punished by the market - the executives would get to loot their own firms once, then they'd be looking for jobs again.

In America, it takes about two weeks in the limelight for the whole country to think you've been around for years.

It would be inaccurate to say the Tea Partiers are racists. What they are, in truth, are narcissists.

Obviously the commercial news media tries to get you worked up and terrified so you'll buy products that they're advertising.
