I would guess (and I've known Barry for a while) that it's an absurdist rant satirizing the protesters as libertarian-come-latelys feeding off the government trough while complaining about it. But if you really want to know, ask.
I take it you haven't read Grover Norquist's bit about how proud he was that tea party protesters were making the sophisticated connection between government spending and taxation.
I'm really getting mixed messages. Were the tea party protests about taxes? Or spending? Or deficits? Or expressing anger at the current economic situation? Or losing to Obama?
