Big Business and the Tea Party

Lifted from Robert’s Thoughts:

Who said it ?  2013 edition

“that which the American people have been waiting for for the last 200 years, politicians listening to the people instead of the ruling class”

That would be far right tea-partier Raul Labrador (R-Idaho)

The mountain West is red.  Red Staters vs the capitalist class.

In the same post Dave Weigel quoted a Texas businessman in the 1930s:

“The capitalist system can be destroyed more effectively by having men of means defend it then by importing a million Reds from Moscow to attack it,”

It is true that reds from Moscow Russia are not much of a threat to the capitalists system.  But red staters from places like Moscow Idaho practically destroyed it last week.
And yes, of course I found the Republican against the ruling class contrarianism in Slate. What did you expect ?  The Daily Right To Worker ?
