In the long litany of valid Tea Party complaints, I have noticed that they don't seem to spend much energy focusing on the amount of concentrated political power corporations have. Granted, they do complain about special interests and corruption, but, on balance, they seem much more likely to complain about Washington's control over the market, rather than the control of Washington by the most powerful market players. It makes me worry that corporate money, through investments in right wing media, is pre-figuring their concerns and directing their rage. Is it possible that they are corporate pawns? Does anyone know why their criticism of corporate political power seems flaccid compared to their criticism of Government itself? Yes, I know they complained about TARP, but that wasn't really blamed on corporations, rather, it was filed under the much vaguer (and safer) "politics as usual". Does anyone know why the Tea Party didn't complain about the recent Supreme Court decision which increased the capacity of special interests to buy Washington? We know the Left is corrupt (see Clinton Obama > Wall Street), but I thought the Tea Party was genuinely opposed to the special interest corruption of politics.
