There are many among the tea-baggers who decry the massive tax-payer funded bailouts to Wall Street and who call for a populist revolt against this domination of the political system by financial elites. The problem is that a large number of them wilfully pretend that the problem started with Obama and the Democrats, forgetting that the Democrats are merely continuing the policies of bush II. Others among them believe that any regulation of the money supply must be the work of evil space-lizards, an international Jewish conspiracy or "socialists."
Sane people, on the other hand, do not believe in mystical societies with totally free markets and completely deregulated banking. As well, they understand that both major US-American political parties and most other mainstream parties elsewhere (such as the Liberals and the harpercons) are entirely dominated by business interests, concerns and values. Furthermore, it is the leading sectors of the economy that get to dominate this capitalist political system, witness the different treatment received by the auto-industry as opposed to the financial sector in the USA.
