Tea time tanties

It's been said that the modern day Tea Party kicked off with the Rick Santelli rant against the Obama administration program to "subsidize the losers' mortgages". Kellen Giuda, who organised the NYC tea party protest, said

"Santelli hit a lot of things that I believe - that the government needs to stop getting involved in everything," Giuda said. "They're too much involved in my life, my money. Everybody's working hard - it's not up to the government to decide how our money should be allocated - it should be up to us."

Giuda and other Tea Party followers appear to share the same delusion, that they created and control money. They didnt and they dont, they may create value or wealth for themselves but only within a closed environment supported by a government. Without a government to establish the boundaries money is just a concept.
