Both Republicans and Democrats are captivated by many corporate interests - though I think it is clear that the Republicans are much more so.
Have Tea Partiers generally expressed concern for this captivation of the political parties by corporate interests that actually diminish competition rather than enhance it? I haven't seen. If they aren't, and if my impression that they seem to be almost single-mindedly focused on reducing government expenditures on social programs is correct, then they are generally missing this immensely big problem of corporate interests using government to REDUCE competition in the "free" market.
