"A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table is a plate with a dozen cookies. The CEO takes 11 cookies, says to the Tea Partier, 'Watch out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie.'"Why is the Tea Party so entrenched with the new "Robber Baron?"
