Well...
Denigrating the tea party movement as a reaction to capitalism. I would say, "yeah."
Let's face it - brute - unbridled - zero-sum capitalism is impossible to live under. People need salaries and some type of security to be able to raise children and families. But sure, the brutal market forces are necessary for growth, etc. This tension is the crux of the economic functioning of modern society. And the current imbalance of this tension is why this tea party movement resonates - because people feel like they don't have the tools, ie security, to raise families and give them a decent chance to prosper. And worse, they feel as though elites are gaming the system to their own benefit and detriment of the middle class.
Are they wrong?
