“The Billionaires’ Tea Party” in its entirety
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...

The Tea Party are useful idiots for the GOP. The GOP has no interest in lowering the deficit, despite what they say, their actions now and for the entire history of their party shows otherwise.
