Plutocracy in America
Dissing the tea party is a huge mistake. It's far too easy to
point at fringe personalities and describe this movement as a
collection of crazy yokels. This group is organized and funded
by the wealthy concerns of America. Most of their names are
well hidden by political groups that are not required to
disclose information. Here's why the tea party is a real
concern:
1. These are hard economic times that result in large portions
of our country worried and eager to complain. Point them at
the Democratic Party blaming it and you've just brought
millions under your tent. Never mind the responsibility of the
party that got America into such money problems and 2,
long-playing, expensive wars. Blame the liberal,
money-spending democrats and you pull in many supporters
2. Purport that you are for smaller government and more
freedom and you get millions of Americans to shake their heads
in agreement. Sounds good in theory but this truly equates to
removing laws restricting large business from raping and
poisoning America for greater profits. It is the freedom to
send jobs overseas and move your corporate offices to a
building in another country to avoid paying taxes. These are
the true goals of the tea party. Smaller government is
privatizing social security and eliminating all government
programs to help the poorest Americans. Smaller government is
eliminating public school funding. The only folks enjoying
more freedom are the ultra-wealthy and the corporations they
control.
3. The tea party supports many concerns of religious
conservatives. That is enough to yank millions into their
fold. Millions of us are not able to differentiate religious
conservatism from political conservatism.
4. State that you want to "Take America Back" and
you have lots of patriotic folks lining up as well as roping
in militaristic, fringe groups. The tea party has used this
strategy to pull in many folks who, for one of many reasons,
feel disenfranchised.
So, you can point to tea party members and try to use them as
reasons to be against the tea party but then you have been
duped. The real reason for the tea party is the funded
concerns of the ultra-wealthy. They don't really care if
you're unhappy with our government. They don't care about your
schools, freedom, religion or complaints. Their interests are
in the large amount of money you will invest with them instead
of social security. Their interests are in lower taxes for the
wealthy. Their interests are for less regulation on how they
do business to make money in America. America has quietly
become a plutocracy (rule by the wealthy) and doesn't know it
yet.
