Wall Street and the Tea Party
The Tea Party is consistently (and generally inaccurately, as finally shown here http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/04/07/tea.party…) depicted in the mainstream media as a group of rednecks, racists, and/or morons. In reality though, polls have shown the make-up to be relatively educated, inclusive of minorities, and not very radical or extreme at all.
The Tea Party basically stands for lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and a smaller Federal government. Aren't these all policies most people on Wall Street would support? What about the people on this forum?
What's the point. Your tea party will never achieve anything.
I'm not listening to the talking heads, I'm just sitting here watching actual footage of tea party rallies on the new episode of Frontline. I see a bunch of racist rednecks. How does the media, even Fox, manage to only find this faction when it's time to film?
And I'm pretty sure that no Wall Streeter would want to be associated with these people. In fact, these dumbasses have unintentionally created a new english vernacular called 'teabonics'
I like the tea party movement, but of course some people in it can be kind of ignorant - here's a fight between an kind of douchey anarcho-capitalist and tea partiers who think he's a commie lol:
