Why Are Corporate Groups Funding the Tea Party?

by Shamus Cooke from Global Research.
...only three unifying concepts [of the National Tea Party Federation] were announced: fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government, and free markets — all vague terms overused by any corporate Republican.

...Because the three unifying ideas are so vague, special interests will fill in the blanks when needed.  For example, does a “constitutionally limited government” allow the economy to be dominated by giant corporations?  Does “fiscal responsibility” mean that the U.S. should spend hundreds of billions of dollars annually on foreign wars?  Does “free markets” mean that Wall Street should be allowed to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants? The answers to these questions, according to the National Tea Party Federation, will all be YES!
