14. We also must understand the Tea Party is very well-funded and has many connections on Wall Street.

They only threw their money behind the Tea Party because it accomplished their short-term goals of less taxes on the wealthy and less government regulation of unruly corporations. What they were almost in for was a Second Depression. Sure, they would probably survive and still be rich, but in such an environment, they would have much more difficulty holding down left-wing thought in America; because once people realize they're losing a lot, while the rich lose little, they may decide to swing left, against the rich and powerful.
