Why Inequality Is a Problem and Growth a Red Herring

As the recession that began in late 2007 drags through its sixth year, people are finally starting to ask if maybe inequality is to blame.

Maybe, Maybe not

Daily Kos: The Only Scandal Regarding the IRS is How EVERY Tea Party Group Obtained 501(C)(4) Status

"I wish I could properly convey how freakin' sick and tired I am listening to both cable news and broadcast news force feed us the Republican line of bullshit du jour.

Their irony gets exposed even further when you consider the fact that the property destroyed by the original Tea Party was that of the East India Tea Company, who were basically the Koch Brothers of their time.
