Is there anything more patriotic than a get-rich-quick scheme? The folks over at TeaPartyBizOpp, a pyramid scheme targeted at the tea party set, don't seem to think so.

4. ROFL typical teabagger with a backwards ass business model

Membership levels start with Platinum, then realizing Platinum left little room for a more premium membership makes a facacta Platinum Silver then a Platinum Gold.
