Tea parties and capitalism

Eugene Robinson, on the Op-Ed page of the Washington Post for Friday, April 17 discusses the issues behind the recent tea parties. His seven candidates: taxes, spending, gun control, immigration, abortion, gay marriage and bank bail-outs. He missed the single most important issue for our time, and one that was prominent on the tea party posters: replacement of capitalism by governmental control. It represents nothing less than the erosion of the single institution that has created the enormous wealth and non-centralized decision making of this country.
