Capitalism means someone will benefit off the backs of others....

Socialism means spreading the wealth a little bit... I don't know what a true socialist is but I don't think BO would try to hand everyone a equal payment regardless of qualifications...

Tea Party want smaller government, less taxes and so forth but someone will still benefit and it probably won't be them, they truly gain nothing outta what they really want. They want self accountability, no AA, welfare or assistance but when they get sick and they call the Insurance company they realize their crap up a creek and they found out they have no friends as well.

When a man comes along to try to help the shrinking middle class they complain and call him socialist. Guess they rather the big wigs keep their bonuses since they earned it fair and square.

They're blind by color and a idiotic view of reality.

Don't believe all you see on TV or hear on the news. Obama himself got nearly a $million in donations from Golden. It's all smoke and mirrors

Obama is the one defending them, the Tea Partyers are the ones protesting them.

Capitalism doesn't mean that at all. Not even close.

And who is trying to help the middle class? Republicans? LOLs. Democrats? LOLs.

Middle class is capable of taking care of themselves. So are poor people. And blacks. And Mexicans. And women. And gays. And white men. And every other group that tries to gain government favors at the expense of the middle class.

How about a link to your assertion?
Or did you just make this statement up?
