that is a shoot-off from citizens for a sound economy (now it is called freedomworks, another sponsor of the tea rallies)- a group co-founded by charles koch. now listen to this: he controls koch industries, the second-largest privately owned company and the largest privately owned energy company in the nation; he has a net worth of approximately $4 billion, placing him among the top 50 wealthiest individuals in the country and among the top 100 wealthiest individuals in the world.

that is basically your host… one of the wealthiest men in the world, plus oil interest companies, life/health insurance corporations, and many more corporate lobbyists working for less regulation for *them* and more taxes for the american citizen. 

this was not a protest created by the 95% of americans who make less than 250,000. the tea parties were, truly, manufactured by the wealthiest individuals who want to protect their amassed wealth at any cost - even going as far as to manipulate hard-working americans into thinking obama is raising taxes on them, when in actuality he is only raising taxes on the wealthiest 5% of the population - and it will still be lower than the tax rate under reagan.
