The Billionaires' Tea Party HD

The Tea Party movement has taken American politics by storm. But is this truly a populist uprising or one of the greatest feats of propaganda ever seen? Australian filmmaker Taki Oldham sets out answer this question, finding that behind the movement's rhetoric of 'freedom' versus 'socialism' lies a highly co-ordinated network of shadow groups, funded by the likes of billionaire ideologues Charles and David Koch. Are the Tea Party protestors really just pawns in a plan to replace government with a privatized America?

"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires."

John Steinbeck

[NickThomas1983]

They did this again with the "red scare." It is no mistake that most tea partiers I've met are Christians, which are already used to ignoring logic and going on feelings and conspiring ignorance.

If a channel in ANY other country would report like this, people would stop watching... Damn America, whats wrong with you?

Communists here in France inspired most of the labour and healthcare laws. Health and safe jobs have therefore meant more politicization and class consciousness to understand "real freedom". In the US, there is no solidarity within the working class, it believes it's middle class and naively dream of wealth. Free market led to the 1929 crisis (2008) and who helped rebuild the US back then? Roosevelt's New Deal, ye the Government! See Th. Jefferson's 1802 letter to Sec of Treasury Albert Gallatin

Before someone attacks me as a 'pawn'. No corporation supports what I do. To prove this simply look at Ron Paul, he is the CLOSEST to my ideals and he is shunned by corporations and lied about on news media.

Limited government and free market is a 'radical form of freemarket'? That is the founders American Ideal. This is stupid propaganda. Heck I'm not even a republican or a teaparty member and I am disgusted by this. You're as bad and worthless as the birthers themselves. Go back to your own country and stop lieing about america.

ive now finished watchin the doc and if i hadnt seen you id have said this was a government funded documentary! some of the assumptions made here are very dangerous, the fact that you claim these people havent responded to issues but rather been stupidly manipulated is laughable. obamas main campaign funding came from goldman sachs, he lied on numerous occasions and has served the elite since being in office. as for tactics, he had people knocking doors voting morning to remind them to vote!

[becij13]

though i can see what ur sayin with corporate interests, this toxic phenomena in politics is just sickening but the particular aspects of the agenda said to be directly targeted at obama policy arent so. before the tea party existed these issues have been raised& are issues for me personally. they are all details specifically given in the constitution, so this seems like a way of suggesting a dishonet belief in the constitution just to attack obama. i think thats irresponsible left propaganda!

@luvlethalwhites GOOD ONES!!!

I feel so sorry for the guy around 27:30... he doesn't understand that he's a volunteer and wouldn't get money from the Kocks, anyways. I actually feel sorry for all of them. We are witnessing the fall of a nation.

People better wake up and smell the coffee before it's too late. To let corporations and billionaires dictate how our government runs will be the end of this country.. The tea party wants this country to regress back into the policies of the early 20th century. How can people be so ignorant to what is going on ? Instead they listen to the Wall Street idiots and let the GOP spread fear by lying and misinformation...

36:20 = the most ignorant woman I have ever seen in my life, and apparently she just learned heard about hitler through that little book in her hand.............. GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE........
