Papantonio: The Tea Party Doesn’t Understand Capitalism

This segment originally aired on the October 27th, 2013 episode of Ring of Fire on Free Speech TV. The Tea Party suffers from a severe lack of both empathy, and basic knowledge about economics. This makes them a very dangerous threat to our economy. Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio discusses this with economist and author Richard Wolff.

It's always been there I've always been amazed so many people buy the Lee Harvey Oswald lone nut meme, especially post Warren Report and movie.

It's reached critical mass now though. Tea Party types are right to be angry, but their anger is so misplaced. Plus - they really don't seem to be packed with empathy.

And Fox "News" hoodwinks lots of suckers so they keep carrying water for the Koch brothers and other billionaires.
