Yes, it couldn't possibly be that the principles and objectives of the Tea Party simply appeal to them. It has to be looked at as if there's some disease that needs a symptom. Another article of complete horseshit. You sure do follow a theme, I tell ya.

“Similar to how racial segregation shapes perceptions of racial inequality, and occupational sex segregation shapes perceptions of gender inequality, we consider the possibility that residential segregation of the highly educated may facilitate mobilization of a social movement, such as the Tea Party, that opposes redistribution of wealth to society’s less prosperous citizens,” says the study.

Hard to imagine the horror of living by and being governed with those principles. Easy to see now why so many hate us Tea Party folks.
