Where the Left Goes to a Tea Party

Finance is central to our future–as individuals, as a nation. Yet it is often shrouded in mysterious terms designed to obscure the subject from readers of ordinary newspapers and blog sites.

But it is at least as critical to our future as Afghanistan or the environment, as energy or education. It is also an area that comes close to wrecking our economy as well as the lives of individuals.

For starters, Frank Rich’s column in today’s NYT ought to be mandatory reading. So I’ll stop writing and urge you to follow the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01…

Afterwards, ask yourself three questions:

1. Are you pissed off? Seriously pissed?

2. Should something be done about this in the coming election?

3. Do you really think M. Bennet is the person who’s going to fight for reform, as opposed to … well, putting his hand out for more donations from Scarsdale and environs?

Bonus: Should the left be brewing tea, with a view towards steering tea partiers in a different direction?
