Here is the hyper link. It talks about a multitude of groups show supporting interests, labor, commies, LW etc. But fundamentally, they all are concerned with the 1 to 99 relationship and that those who's job it is to act for some balance, are refusing to do it. From what I have seen thus far, they are refusing to be taken over as the TParty was.

Unions, Socialists Join Forces to "Occupy Wall Street" (http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/9214-unions-socialists-join-forces-to-occupy-wall-street%5DUnions,%20Socialists%20Join%20Forces%20to %20%22Occupy%20Wall%20Street%22 - broken link)

I hope so. This is encouraging but I do not want to get overconfident.

Lets hope these special interests either 1) keep their distance or 2) are resisted by the protestors.
Please tell me why I should support them?

We are Fed up ( no pun) with an establishment that caters to failed institutions that greatly damaged not only themselves but an entire economy with taxpayer dollars.

The playing field is tilted to giant oligoloplies and monopolies.
Competition- which made this country great cannot exist in an environment where those with power act with no regard to conflict of interest.

Mayor Bloomberg (who calls himself an independent) says we should all do that.

I'll bet the Big Banks would buy you better pizzas than the protestors get.

Do you mean, as a Tea Partier? You should support the Occupy movement to prove you are not a corporate tool who got used like a butt wipe by the GOP Big Money Establishment the past two years. Have you glommed onto the fact that empty-suit Willard is going to be your nominee yet?

You Tea Partiers said you wanted a revolution, right? With your guns and your funny hats? Well, here's your revolution. Will you join us?

Or were you guys just full of it all along?
