MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka speculate that if the trapped Chilean miners had followed the tea party’s “every man for himself” philosophy, there would be no survivors:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Okay let’s talk about what the…message to a lot of the people was. The message coming out of the Tea Party people — and a lot of them are good people — is ‘every man for himself,’ basically. ‘No more taxes, no more government, no more everything. No more safety net. No more health care for everybody. Everybody just get out there, make your buck, save it, screw the government, move on.’ Right?

RICHARD TRUMKA: Yeah.

MATTHEWS: You know these people, if they were ‘every man for himself’ down in that mine they wouldn’t have gotten out.

TRUMKA: That’s exactly right.
