The Tea Party members seem to be so stupid that they don’t realized that major corporations are the primary source of funds for Republicans. Many of these corporations are funding lobbyists to stop the government from accomplishing anything. The same goal that the tea party seems to have.
But that has not stopped them from calling for a strike on January 20th to try to “financially cripple” corporations. They claim that they are targeting those corporations that advertise on CNN and MSNBC and support Democratic candidates.
