The Money Behind the Tea Party Movement

New Yorker Magazine has published a story entitled "Covert Operations: the billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama." The brothers are David and Charles Koch of Koch Industries in Kansas.

The article provides an eye-opening explanation for the surge of incendiary, irate, and irrational political activism over the last eighteen months. The title, however, is too restrictive. The war being waged is against more than a single politician. It is a war against a just and equitable society.

As opposed to lefty causes that are largely funded by George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, or any number of private Foundations?

Truth is truth. Saying the Tea Party is largely controlled by elite special interests is the truth. It's also true several leftist causes are equally controlled by elite special interests. Is it right that such powerful groups can hold so much sway over so many people without their knowledge or even a fair election?
