On the 3/29/10; Larry King on CNN, a couple of the Tea Party leadership were allowed to spout their naivete, illiteracy and bigotry which concurrently became an educable moment to the rest of the nation.
On the question of Social Security one of the Tea Party activist repeated that old Ronald Reagan propagandist lie, that Social Security is insolvent. Applying the disingenuous argument that there isn't any "cash" in the Social Security account. With the implication that macro-scale, governmental monetary activities are interchangeable and scale comparable with micro-scale, individual-private bank accounts.
My point is: If the lattice and structural base upon which the nations Political-Economy stands is least understood by it's critics and detractors and even when an attempt is made to grasp it's mystery, naivete and pat assumptions are substitutes for it's cognition. Why should Tea Party critique on all fronts resonate beyond the crass, infantile, anarchic-idealism it is?
