2) The Tea Party has partially misidentified the problem (blaming the puppet Obama, rather than the international financial cartels that own and operate him), though their solution of taking over the Republican primary process worked fairly well in 2010 - even if most Tea Party candidates have failed to follow through with any meaningful reforms. The Tea Party's great strength remains its lack of an organized structure and leadership for its opponents to use Alinsky tactics against.

I believe all of these problems can ultimately be traced right back to Washington DC, which has been bought and paid for by evil elements both here and abroad.
They let themselves be bought. IMO, they are to blame even more than the people who bought them. Maybe they “saw a niche and filled it” and perverted the spirit of Capitalism or they’re just greedy, power hungry and morally bankrupt.
Love of money is the root of all evil. Money’s great, but too many people have no limitations on what they will do for it.
