Compare these pictures and then tell me which grouo is more likely to want the US to remain successful in what it does. Maybe which wants to keep us going and which wants to destroy us with socialiasm.

Tea Party = Government, leave my family alone.

Occupy = Government, take from the successful and give it to us or we will get violent.

False dichotomy. Their common enemy is finance.


There is only one reason I support OWS, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

If the tea party would see through the thin veil of government that is now owned by Wall Street, I would support them too. The tea party just does not realize they will destroy their own interests with their platform.

This is a really shallow comparison meant to provoke animosity and start yet another argument that will leave everyone who participates in it believing the exact same thing that they began the thread with.

Really you should be thinking about what both of these groups have in common, which is an intolerance for political and financial corruption, since pitting angry citizens against each other is exactly what the people who are running this country in their favor want to do.

OWS is being hijacked and forced into 999 different generally liberal directions. Not unexpected.
Teaparty has one thing going for it OWS doesnt "get". They keep their focus.

Funny thing about both: Billionaires are financing both. Just different billionaires.

I would be all for the tea party except they have no idea how our monetary system works. They want to balance the budget with our existing monetary system. Every time I ask people if they want the private sector to go into more debt, most people say no. What they don't realize is that is exactly what a balanced budget does. So all they accomplish is their own demise by allowing those who control our corrupt government to continue. OWS properly identifies the source of the problem. The tea party just targets the proxy.

If you want to see how balanced budgets work that is simple. A balanced budget essentially leaves all credit creation to the banking system. You can see how well that works in Europe. There is no way out of their output gap because there is no facility to relieve debtors who make up most of the productive class. Once debt saturation is reached, its a slow grinding death as we see. A balanced budgets is the European monetary system. History shows debt grows beyond its ability to be repaid.

Seems to me that both groups want the US to be successful.

Try looking at the link and then tell us how true what you say. Compare the pictures and then tell how superior pure socialism is to what the Tea Party stands for.

I guess all those pictures were produced by some right leaning group to prove a point. In other words it seems that you really think the Tea Party has something other than being against government corruption in common with the OWS movement. You need to look a bit farther right to see what is going on,

I am more or less sympathetic to both, but the brain trust in both is so utterly lacking. They don't know who the enemy is. I most certainly do. Its easy to know if you know where all power is. When things go wrong you know one of the elemental sources of power is being abused. The forces are as simple as Hellenic Physics. The rulers come from military, land, money power. The landed gentry typically decent from military power. Money power is usually associated with the merchant class. I don't see we have a military problem and I don't see any landed gentry. So that leaves the merchant class. Who is winning that battle? Looks like the old money changers to me.
