This vampire squid has already ransacked the american consumer, state & local governments, transportation authorities, sports teams, & corporations purchased under LBOs.
The squid should have died in september 08, but the government revived it & now its bigger then ever.
Anything that kills the wall street banks is an improvement for america. Viva la revolutione!

Good old revisionist history!
How about some reality...
The Tea Party Movement gained national attention in the summer of 2009 when organized protests occurred at Congressional "town hall" meetings that discussed healthcare reform.
While promoted as a spontaneous "grassroots" movement, many of the activities of Tea Party groups were organized by corporate lobbying groups.
In an article in the August 30, 2010 issue of The New Yorker magazine, author Jane Mayer links the billionaire brothers David Koch and Charles Koch, owners of Koch Industries to tea party movement funding. Mayer writes,
The anti-government fervor infusing the 2010 elections represents a political triumph for the Kochs. By giving money to ?educate,? fund, and organize Tea Party protesters, they have helped turn their private agenda into a mass movement. Bruce Bartlett, a conservative economist and a historian, who once worked at the National Center for Policy Analysis, a Dallas-based think tank that the Kochs fund, said, ?The problem with the whole libertarian movement is that it?s been all chiefs and no Indians. There haven?t been any actual people, like voters, who give a crap about it. So the problem for the Kochs has been trying to create a movement.? With the emergence of the Tea Party, he said, ?everyone suddenly sees that for the first time there are Indians out there?people who can provide real ideological power.? The Kochs, he said, are ?trying to shape and control and channel the populist uprising into their own policies.
