That's not what the Canadian press is reporting. They're saying the "Tea
Party" has deep, anonymous pockets behind them, out-spending rivals an
average of 2:1.
Has anyone read a piece in the New Yorker called Covert Operations about the
billionaire brothers from Wichita that have a family history of funding
nitso political causes? They are the almost excludive funders of the tea
party. Their causes are ones that will allow them to pollute at will and pay
no taxes. It is eye opening indeed and should be read by those tea party
people that consider it a populist cause.
I knew a man in school that came to be funded by them. He proposed, as a
political science professor, an additional group of representatives in
congress, nominated and elected by corporations. He later broke with the
brothers.
