The Tea Party is pro-corporation.

OWS is anti-corporation.

Does anybody even know what the **** they're yelling about anymore?

We need more capitalism not less. This "we need more free stuff" thing is a dead-end.

American industrialization came on the heels of tariffs that contained such growth and innovation to the USA.

Also, only one red state pays more tax revenue than it receives. The rest of those are blue states.

You're welcome, conservative America, for subsidizing the hell out of you.

I'm assuming you're a conservative, so stop leeching on us damn northern liberals with our high taxes.

I agree he must be an impostor!! This is strange and maybe he's gotten a hold of some bad ju-ju,making him think all out of character. These are not the people I know, he just might have to be booted on out.

They want to do away with it all together. Plus, the people are all over the board, they have no leader or set direction of what they want to happen. One guy when asked his reply was "I just want everyone to get along"..........that's what he's there for, besides the drugs, and good time. All on taxpayers, we'll pay to clean up after them.

This guy with the TP needs to be questioned. their right to protest yes, they have no right to be loitering and polluting the streets day after day.

And it is a grand design overall but.....

Since the beginning of the country those with power and money sought to manipulate freedom and the constitution, be they banksters or politicians. I'd say both the tea party and the OWS people if they could look past certain differences and see that both sides have been supporting certain people that seek to manipulate,that being government and those with great wealth, and demand ethics from both, it would be a good thing.

Politicians are part of the problem, but those with extreme wealth to influence are part of the problem also. There can be a balance between freedom as the tea party wants and regulation to reign in profiteers like the OWS want.....if they could stop blaming each other for all that is wrong, but I have little faith in that happening.

You know what else is on taxpayers?

Except for Texas, every red state in America receives more tax revenue than it pays in. The rest of the states that pay more taxes than they receive (therefore subsidizing the others) are liberal. The Tea Party dominated states are wholly subsidized by their liberal counterparts and without them they'd have up to 50% of what little they already have to work with in many cases.

Mississippi would have HALF the money to put towards schools, infrastructure, fire, police, local municipality assistance, etc.
