The TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party members did a pretty good job getting their point across in a non-violent, pro-American fashion. The Liberals are still shaking in their boots that normal, everyday Americans accomplished so much in a non-violent fashion.

The Tea Party is made up of a working-class and middle-class Americans fed up with bailouts for Big Banks while the American people get screwed.

The Occupiers are a bunch of rich, spoiled, white hipsters who suffer from delusions of grandeur and want to mimic their hippie grandparents.

The teabaggers are rich white gay progressives living in San Francisco who often vote to ban children, books, Happy Meals, the homeless, and Jews from their city.

the teaflaggers on th other hand didnt take their protest directly to the point of emphasis

you can bet your bottom dollar that if the teaflaggers protested on wall street there would be chaos...

there has been other occupy rallys with no incident, and how do we know those idiots arent republican plants? i man at tea party rallys there are those trying to say democrats planting plants with stupid signs.


GTFOH

I think they question Obama, progressives, the media, etc.

What I think is strange is the tea party hatred of unions. Because if you asked any of these folks when the best time in modern history was, many of them would say the period after WWII when families could support themselves on one income, communities were strong, etc - but this was the greatest period of growth for unions, and most working-class men were in them. Which is WHY this period was so great for the average American. Right now less then EIGHT PERCENT of Americans are in unions - so how can pathetic wages be the fault of unions? I mean, 92% of the economy is NOT unionized. And what a coincidence - stagnating or falling wages are perfectly aligned with the disappearance of unions and collective bargaining (and the flight of decent jobs to the third world that the loss of unions permitted).

American workers should not have to compete with people who are chained to sewing machines and forced to work till they faint. Nor should they compete with the smog in China that is so bad, a huge growth industry is the sale of home air purification and indoor play areas because it isn't safe outdoors for children.

And for the record, I'm neither a teapartier NOR an occupier. I don't think either of these groups is addressing the real problem, which is that corporations have the legal right in this country to literally bribe our supposed "representatives" into voting against the basic interests of the average citizen. And until you change that and have full public funding of elections, you won't get real representation in government.

Well since i asked a stupid protestor of the L.A. OWS CROWD this very question i was dumb after he gave me his answer.

He said duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you should know man you should know. Hubby pulling me by my arm, but i am very stubborn and wanted a answer dang it.

He said if we had a bank account, we are part of the problem, if my hubby was over 55 and msyelf and we work, we are part of the problem.

Then he said everyone who is a politician or a boss of a huge Corporation are the biggest problem of all.

Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh doesn't most normal people have a checking and saving account.

In sincere honesty the tea-baggers i do know of, personally all are part of the working establisment, i cannot say this honestly for the OWS crowds.
