Monopolies are always attained through Power & Corruption. And THAT is what the Tea Party stood for... against the monopoly of the East India Company - (the Walt-Mart of the time).

The GOP who wants to win at any cost, in spite of the generalized knowledge that they CANNOT govern; they organized and funded this stupid TEA (Tax Enough Already) bullcrap movement to rally their "base", and a bunch just followed like sheep. It worked!

Now, poor idiots... they're all confused.

Thanks Thom!

For those who still can't see the difference between the political right and political the left, here, with this video, you have a perfect example : THE LEFT IS INTERESTED BY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS AND A COMPLETE PORTRAY OF FACTS. Why? Because it's the closest you can get to the truth... The right, instead, is only interested to distord reality until it fit what THEY THINK is the truth.

Govt created the monopoly of the East India Company. Many monopolies are, chiefly today utilities. But, AT&T was regulated into a monopoly. These are called coercive monopolies. They are disticnt, from natural monopolies, that dominate an industry, because they have gained market share from legitimate business activities. Like low prices, better products, or services. They are good, and help consumers.

You can go ahead and flag this because Thom Hartmann is an idiot. He basically says that all conservatives believe in unicorns. Whereas liberals are like gods. Last video I watched all he did was ramble.

Thom Hartmann is like Glenn Beck for people with an IQ over 75.

The Tea Party originated when a group of people decided to mail tea bags to a group of Congressmen. The trend caught on, and eventually they founded a group, and it's very successful and unwavering. They seek less government and more liberties, and about 20% of them portray the rest of them as bad.

I still don't understand why they dressed up as Indians.

Why would they want the Indians to be blamed for the attack?

If the gripe was with the taxes or the tax cuts, what would that have to do with Indians. Indians don't drink imported tea or pay taxes.

I've heard this before. Can you explain?

[KamuiMosir]

Saying "Ha, RT, that sums it up" doesn't indicate much to me about yourself anymore than your comment "sums it up"

Sure, RT is bank rolled by Russia, but they don't lift a finger to produce Thom's content. They may see it as sewing discord in the US, but so what?

So, what are your political leanings that would make leave such a smug comment as this?

No the members came from all parts of the right wing circus but the donars whos financies made it possible for the tea party to get to where they are were billionaires.

More lies from Hartmann. The modern tea party was started by 9/11 truthers.
