I tend to think that the Tea Partiers are Babbitts. They kiss up to the rich and powerful in the belief that the rich and powerful will like them when, in fact, the rich and powerful have the same disdain for them as they have for the working class and poor.

I look at the Tea Partier view of the rich as being much the same as the ancient Greeks view of their gods - omnipotent, capricious, and in need of constant fellation worship lest they turn on us.
