I'm not the one sleeping on the streets....
Tea Party vs Occupy Wall Street
I don't think there is a VS there. they have more in common than not. Both are tired of being F'd by gov and big business.
Official Occupy list of demands:
Eliminate Corporate Rights as Persons
Repeal of the Patriot Act
Forced Acquisition of the Federal Reserve for $1Billion USD by the US Congress
Restructure Campaign Finance Legislation
Forgive Student Loan Debt and Reform Funding for Education
End the War on Drugs
I dont think any of those are unreasonable. In fact I think we might be on to something.
I'm not the one sleeping on the streets....
It's called sacrifice.

Mr Nick, tea party goes home to their family and have a job, that is something that 14 million Americans do not have, a job. I am independent, retiree, comfortable financially, and have been waiting for a long time for this movement. The government represents 1% period. Why is it that members of congress, most of them millionaires, do not want to stop subsidies? 167 Billion in farm subsidies that go to non farmers, look at the data base for subsidies. Real farmers are going broke, while our tax money goes to the wealthy conglomerates in the name of farm subsidies. Congress does not want to cut that? Why is that? In Ron Paul's district alone they receive millions a year in farm subsidies, checks going to addresses in Miami, New York, etc. Don't label this movement because it is something the disenfranchised will embrace, the 99%.
They are mirror images of the same populist discontent.
the TPM understands that a corrupt government is in place.
The Wall Street Protestors understand that a corrupt WALL STREET works hand in hand with that corrupt government.
As a consequence we see the main stream media doing what to both?
Manipulating coverage to make BOTH GROUPS seem like hateful idiots.
Why?
So that those two great discontent groups think the OTHER group is the enemy, that's why.
that a corrupt WALL STREET works hand in hand with that corrupt government
The virus is Washington, not Wall St.
This thread has surely been done already, but since I avoid this site due to the large degree of liberal mental patients around here, I probably missed it. But, OWS vs TP, compare and contrast.
To start, the left wing OWS has become violent and disruptive. That's the first difference.
The virus is Washington, not Wall St.
Bull shit.
Wall St. is just as much, if not more of a virus as Washington is.
Wake up.

Where were you when the TEA Parties were protesting those responsible for your ills? This group, OWS, are not protesting Government, they are protesting the symptom, not the disease.

The virus is an unfair and complex tax code and the corruption it breeds.
Simple taxes = Fair taxes.
Fair taxes, a budget that is balanced by law and then build an economy your kids can drive to the stars.
It ain't rocket science, y'all.

The bankers pay the lobbyists the lobbyists pay the congresscritters.....
It's all intertwined.
The virus is corruption and the purchase of favoritism wherever it's found.
Pretty good gimmick. It has spread across the nation, and is causing people to examine the whys of the present economic inequities.
