You know, it's interesting. Barack Obama, in 2007 or 2008, tried to bring in a program to help people who were losing their homes when the bubble burst in the U.S. The homeowners who didn't have a massive amount of debt freaked out and said, “I'm not going to pay for somebody else's problem because they took on too much debt and bought a house they can't afford.” It was a classic interview on CNBC with one of the regular contributors there. He concluded his rant by saying, “What we need is a new tea party,” referring to the Boston Tea Party in 1776.
That led to the formation of the Tea Party political movement in the United States. It was based on the idea that somehow we would help people who were facing foreclosure on their homes.
