Americans for Prosperity are still right behind the Tea Party and that is funded directly by the Koch brothers. Big money still supports the Tea Party because the Tea Party is the John Birch wing of the conservative movement, and the John Birch movement has always been supported by the hardline capitalists who want to rid the world of the socialist threat and the welfare state. That is unless that welfare state is more focused on corporate welfare, then that's a whole new ball of wax.
