You have no idea what caused the financial break down do you? I will give you a hint, it is what you termed "the most free of the free", which turned out to be the costliest of all when the markets were deregulated under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act of 2000.Quote from RCG Trader:

The Frank-Dodd bill pushed me over the edge. If the begin to regulate that last and the most free of the free markets, we are all screwed. What good is it to have a wad of cash in a country that becomes a shit hole?...

There is plenty of evidence here on ET itself, you can just look up more on the Tea Party candidates and easily cross check.
The Tea Party was legitimate when Ron Paul started it back in 2007, now its just neocons, quick-buck artists and Fox news specials.

Everyone think they have got the solution, but what they often neglect is what lessons they can learn from looking in the mirror and that their solutions are no better than many others and in fact could be a lot worst.
Quote from RCG Trader:
Yes, hermit, I have read your threads with great interest. But, I consider evidence not a blog or a he say she say situation. I want a registered member of the Tea Party say they are for "white power".
You see, I have spent time in rural America, as a dredlocked black male. I have met no racists yet.
I HAVE met down to earth people who waive when I drive by. Even the cops.
I voted for President Obama, of course. (Anything else is tantamount to Treason in my ethnic group). I was proud of America and what she could do.
Now, as a trader and someone with a portable skill, I see the plan to make ordinary workers subject to the State. As subject to a bankrupt State, we will have the honor of supporting these people.
I met a woman back in 1992 who told me, you are a liberal now, but you have drive, you will become a conservative. I gave her some dribble about poor people and the underprivileged, etc. Now, I realize that there is a certain group of people who will kill the golden goose.
I see the Tea Party as the only way to stop this.
Did I tell you I am black?
Quote from hermit:
Its not just blog posts or opinion editorials, there has been fair share of direct reporting about the tea party.
As I said earlier, the tea party was a great idea back when Ron Paul was leading it, he has been consistent and is genuine in his rhetoric and had he been in charge, the tea party would have been a real alternative to the Dems and Repubs. But once the neocons hijacked it, infact some tea partiers even tried to oust Ron Paul from his Texas seat, the whole movement was hijacked by self serving television pundits, corporate lobbyists and Republicans looking to rebrand themselves after the Bush debacle.

Yup, the Palin led anti-abortion, anti-masturbation (yup), xenophobic, disingenuous, anti-gay, racist, corporate sponsored and Fox promoted astroturfing is the answer.
