Although it's from a progressive web site and thus biased, it's a very interesting article of how the banks actually took over the Tea Party candidates with corruption:

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) erupts at a constituent who asked about the bank lobby
The 15 freshmen Republican representatives in the House Tea Party Caucus each ran in 2010 on a populist anti-Wall Street message, highlighting their opposition to bank bailouts like the 2008 Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and criticizing Washington for enabling the banking sector as it became “Too Big to Fail.” After winning, all fifteen received significant PAC contributions from the banking industry — and have become a reliable vote and mouthpiece for the financial industry, a ThinkProgress analysis of campaign contributions, voting records and public statements reveals.

It just shows how the people running this show are more concerned with keeping power than anything else. This will turn on them one day. Maybe in a hundred years maybe next week.
