Isn't that what all your OWS was about? and all you leftard whinies about deep pockets influencing everybody in Congress?

They have no allegiance to K Street and Wall Street. They were elected by passionate heartland conservatives of modest means,” Horowitz said. “While money is still important, the advent of social media has allowed these people to connect directly with their constituents and largely bypass the old power brokers.”

isn't that what America as a whole is about?

where are YOUR representatives, leftards, who DO NOT RELY ON Wall street and big business?

Would you have representatives, elected by PEOPLE not by big business ( as ALL of your are - like our RINO) - they would be able to TALK and decide.
Instead you have pelosi and reid and all others who serve ONLY those on the Wall street, and never on the Main street.

Maybe if they'd try to prosecute Wall Street scumbags or reform K Street scumbaggery, the American mainstream might see them as something other than retarded, obstructionist imbeciles.

Do you think it's true just "because you read it on the internet"?

Well, the Kochs don't really employ us. Banks are one thing, the chamber of commerce is another. Personally, I'm an old main street republican and I DO CARE what GE and Apple want.

But the article does illustrate that many of the TP congressmen come from small employment rural districts that don't share those concerns .... at least in the abstract. And certainly the elimination of local banks has an effect. But, if the soc sec checks don't get there; if farmer John can't finance something; if Ag subsidies don't arrive .... then we'll see what happens in these districts.

We know you are a bitter, uninformed person. But why must you torture us with your horrible communication skills? Why?

They can not do it ALONE. They need your side of the aisle - but not the ones which do "business as usual" - but the ones who do not depend on those with big pockets and can actually think about the main street Americans.

Don't you think that representatives of those, even if they are om the opposite sides of the spectrum ( which might not turn out to be that opposite, if you put aside all the brainwashing from the LSM, which also serves Wall street, not the Main street) - they would be able to reform a tax code with closing the loopholes and find the means to cut the fat in form of waste to cherished corrupted contractors and so on, and so on, and so on.

I am more than sure that those who don't have strings attached and do not need to bring pork home - can actually do something for their constituents- even if they differ on gay marriage

Yet another reason why I'm now an independent, not a Dem or GOP.

Because of all the things I dislike about the Tea Party......this is one thing I like. NOT anything the TP does or says.

But simply that the fat, arrogant pricks on Wall Street are angry that they have no influence.

Im tired of society bending over for the rich, and screwing the little guy. On both sides.

It is obviously too difficult to understand FOR YOU - why would you kill your few left neurons and strain that little brain of yours?

When Tea Party and OWS discover they have the exact same grievances, it will be the day of reckoning. Both of them are heavily monitored by the FBI for "domestic" terrorism and extremism. Even says so in the DHS and Army training manuals.

but the shutdown is about defunding obamacare ... nothing more, nothing less. The dems, for all their warts, have been more than williig to discuss loopholes, but the TP House is opposed to any revenues .... simply because this is their chance to kill obamacare if not soc sec and medicare, though the TP members prolly need those entitlements.

Occupy Wall Streeters have a beef with Corporate America, who they think has bought off our government, and who they also think do not pay their fair share in taxes.

The Tea Partiers think that Washington D.C. is the biggest problem, that big-spending politicians are ruining us.

OWS is correct.

The Tea Party is only 1 tenth correct, since tax revenues as a part of our GDP are roughly 4 or 5% lower right now than where they are when we're in good times.

At any time in the last 60 years when our economy was doing great, tax revenue was close to 20% of our GDP. Today, tax revenue is about 14% or 15%.

Spending as a part of our GDP it at its lowest since President Eisenhower's administration.

So the real problem is what the OWS people are saying, which is that the super rich are simply NOT paying their fair share.

With modest tax increases, we could balance our budget.

We've done a lot of cutting the last couple years. But you can't cut your way to prosperity.

Last year the President gave John Boehner and the Tea Party "90% of what we wanted" they said.

That's right, and tax increases were very slight and marginal.

It's time to cut Corporate Welfare and institute a tax on the super rich, as well as taxing at a more fair rate people whose job it is to make money.

Steve Forbes and Mitt Romney, even if their jobs are only making money for shareholders, should at least pay what a plumber pays in taxes. But they don't. While my uncle the plumber pays 25% in taxes, those guys pay in the low teens. It makes no sense.

We could balance the books tomorrow and Steve Forbes and Mitt Romney's sacrifice would get us there AND they would still lead the wickedly awesome luxurious lives they already lead, while helping a grateful nation bounce back.

Yeah....those Tea Party members are going to have a drug-fueled bisexual orgy with those OWS protesters. I can see Palin on stage now. Tub of Viagra in one hand, stock certificates in the other.

Paaaaaaaartyyyyy!

You moron, a blog can not be a source of opinion?
or if that is not the MSNBC - it is not sanctified?
for the idiots like you - the latter with it lies is the "ultimate truth".

But worshipers like you are not the ones I was addressing to - your mass in the skull is too bleached to even understand what is written anywhere else except preached to you from your propaganda pulpits.

All that trouble and you don't say one word to prove your implications that something is not true, all you did is attack the source and the poster. Your opinion, is worth no more than anyone else.

OWS is correct.

Not more than the Tea Party is correct about Washington DC.

At any time in the last 60 years when our economy was doing great, tax revenue was close to 20% of our GDP. Today, tax revenue is about 14% or 15%.

Tea Party is 100% correct, and OWS is only 1tenth percent correct, as they do not see further than Wall street - but I still have confidence that if OWS would have been more organized and not an anarchy movement as they were - they could have been more reasonable to talk to and found common ground than the ones which are threatened that their way of doing "business as usual" can go out the window.

Spending as a part of our GDP it at its lowest since President Eisenhower's administration.

So the real problem is what the OWS people are saying, which is that the super rich are simply NOT paying their fair share.

I think that the two groups would be able to find common ground here as well.

With modest tax increases, we could balance our budget.

Nope. without heavy cuts at least on pork and waste ( without even touching entitlements) - nothing can be balanced.

We've done a lot of cutting the last couple years. But you can't cut your way to prosperity.

You certainly can. there is ton of fat which can be cut.

Last year the President gave John Boehner and the Tea Party "90% of what we wanted" they said.

this is just blah-blah-blah as ALL of the above mentioned people are the ones in the business as usual.
Which precludes them from the possibility of not being influenced by big pockets as a default.
