they are most definitely stooges, wittingly or unwittingly, for the 1% IMHO. They are the "foot soldiers" for the 1%. They completely betray their supposedly "populist" grievances (for me) with their continued support for policies (and politicians) that are least likely to address their supposed grievances (and actually make things WORSE). :banghead: Hey, has anybody met a Tea Party supporter whom decries the bank bailouts that actually supports increased regulation a la Dodd-Frank? :shrug: I haven't. If anything, most of them want banks and other financial institutions to be LESS regulated.
