As the historians frame the outcome of the 2010 US midterm election, they need to give the Tea Party Movement (Modern Morphing of yesteryear’s Ku Klux Klan) an “A” for its effort that once again legitimated financial rape.  Tea Party Movement racist antics to debilitate President Barack Obama’s ability to govern suggest that they should make a public proclamation stating that they are agents of the oil oligarchy working hell bent against the financial interest of the American People. 

When the oil oligarchy raises the prices of gasoline their actions are tantamount to a small group of people acting as a government with full taxing power. The oil oligarchy understands that they do not need permission from anyone to raise gasoline prices. The only action the oil oligarchy needs to take is a media blitz that offers public relations explanations for their action such as a weak dollar or higher global oil demand with potential improving global markets.  

Between 2008 and 2009 the average price of gasoline in the United States of America went from 331.7 cents per gallon down to 240.1 cents per gallon or down 91.6 cents per gallon.  This huge price drop ran counterpoised to the enrichment desires of the fat cats underwriting rightwing Republican juggernauts (Tea Party Movement racists). November 10, 2010 found average gasoline prices across the US at 285.7 cents per gallon or a 45.6 cent price increase so far this year. 

You get a feel for what the 45.6 cent increase in one year means when you consider US Senators Tom Carper (D) and George Voinovich (R) want to increase the tax on gasoline by 1 cent per month for 25 months then let it be indexed to inflation thereafter to lower the deficit and improve highway infrastructure. It is estimated they would collect over 200 billion dollars in five years. On the other hand, you can visualize the fat cats cheering the Tea Party Movement in handing the oil oligarchy a 45.6 cent raise in under a year replete with the authority to raise their gasoline prices whenever .

What is very troubling is looking at roughly a decade of history of an effective oil oligarchy member ExxonMobil where we see a corporation that figured out how to circumvent a 1911 US Supreme Court Ruling that broke its predecessor into 34 smaller companies to prevent an oil monopoly. In 1998, the formation of ExxonMobil kindled the growth 1999 sales of 185.5 billion US dollars to 2008 of 459.6 billion. The cumulative sales over this time period is 3226.924 billion (over three and one quarter trillion dollars).

The ExxonMobil net profit went from 7.91 billion in 1999 to 45.22 billion in 2008. The cumulative net profit is 279.99 billion (over one quarter trillion dollars).

The Tea Party Movement’s antics suggest that either they do not fully comprehend the destructive impact of their tomfoolery or they are comparable to Al Qaeda in their zeal to destroy peace and tranquility in Mainstream America. Surely, one might expect the American people to grow hostile towards the Tea Party Movement’s inability to understand that exploiting yesterday’s racism means the destruction of today’s middle class as the moneychangers fill the national leadership vacuum and exploit the dividedness they have perpetrated in the nation.

Perhaps the Tea Party Movement will experiment with some sound reasoning by pondering the question, “Is maintaining yesteryear’s racism too expensive in today’s Great Depression II?”  Thus I ask, “Is the Tea Party Movement looking forward to doing whatever reckless antics are necessary to maintain high unemployment until the 2012 General Election?”
