OMG, the left is starting to drool again. Get the bib!
You know what a REAL Pyramid Scheme looks like?
If this guy is associated with the Tea Party I hope he is not using it to hype his stuff
If there’s anything the left hates worse than patriotism, it’s profit.
I’ve invested all of $3 in the Tea Party “pyramid scheme” since they first appeared on the scene.
Anything that comes from Mother Jones News should be taken with a freight car’s worth of salt. Motehr Jones readers think that The Nation or The New Republic are right wing publications.
You’re really posting from Mother Jones? Here at FR?
Are you too old for the zot?
The left isn't getting anywhere with the usual stuff. You know, racism, crazies, etc. so they are going for the corruption angle. Gee, what next?
[If you are from Berkeley.... it is the most common action verb known.]
Leftists can’t comprehend any movement which doesn’t involve leader-worship, collective thinking, or hatred of a race/class.
More like a trapezoid.
This idiot doesn’t understand a pyramid scheme. There needs to be a transfer of cash at each level, with each layer added making the originator more rich until the levels grow so large they collapse the structure. This is nothing like that...there is only ONE layer.
Pyramid scheme...? You mean like Social Security...?

This doesn’t even make any sense, not even to deluded college students and other misguided liberals.
Does Mother Jones even know how chain letters operate?
Mother Jones is not exactly a bastion of intellect.
At all.
The comparison is idiotic.
Meanwhile the Federal Gov’t. hugely extorts your tax $$ in a grande scheme called Ponzi! We willingly throw a few good investment dollars at the TP pyramid. At least we know the value of the end results.
Having sat through a Koskot pitch decades ago I can recognize a Ponzi Scheme, and the Tea Party ain’t it. Don’t think Amway is either.
Ah, the left is dragging one of their favourite whipping posts: The Drreaded Amway.
They must really be desperate.
Just desperately seeking the “leaders” who must be “cleaning up” ...they’d sic the IRS on ‘em if they could find ‘em.
Can’t audit the whole of Flyover Country tho!!!
Mother Jones should stick to baking veggie-burgers in aluminum foil solar ovens and recommending eco-fascist friendly cockroach traps.
The left doesn’t seem to be able to understand the bottom up nature of the Tea Party. There isn’t a ‘leader’ who ‘calls the shots’. There are folks who set up local gatherings, and there are some groups that set up national gatherings like the 9/12 Marches, etc. But Tea Partiers are just folks who have come to understand that they are not alone; there are more folks like them out there, and enjoy getting together with folks who feel the same way they do about government. And they are becoming active in politics, when they’d never done anything like that before.
