"The Tea Party pretends to be a populist party but that is misleading, for in reality it was created with a few thousand “true believers” financed by the rich and powerful within the Republican party. This is exactly what happened in Germany in the 30s.

They are now repaying their financiers by making sure that they do not share in the national sacrifice required by a sagging economy, so that they continue benefiting from tax cuts established by the preceding administration. They call them “job creators” and “over-achievers” deserving of all those tax cuts but the only jobs they have created is abroad where labor is cheap and the profits are enormous. They are now sitting on two trillion dollars worth of profits.

The budget, as far as the Tea Party is concerned, is to be balanced on the back of the poor and the middle class by gutting the social programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. That being the case, perhaps a better description for these privileged overachieving people is “filthy rich” or “exploiters.” "
