To the extent that both groups are concerned with the corruption of our government and our current system of crony capitalism, they should certainly be aligned.
Yes, we have to liberate our economy from the shackles of government if we want to prosper again.
We need more capitalism not less. This "we need more free stuff" thing is a dead-end.
Your original claim was that they hate America. Now you're complaining that they have the wrong goals.
When you have a problem with America, it's because you're a patriot. When someone else does, it's because they hate America. Got it.
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.
These states do their share of borrowing, even Texas..............
Here's the money borrowed from federal government, and some states are near bankrupt.
Just like we do to China, we borrow and give it to other people/countries, and pay the interest on borrowed money.
"I encourage all my fellow Tea Partiers to join Occupy Wall Street protesters in their non-violent, peaceful protests and together demand that the Government be returned to the people. After all, this is precisely what the Tea Party was intended to be before it was taken over and marginalized by the establishment politicians."
I look at the OWS and the Tea Party, and I see a lot of confusion from both sides about how our government actually operates, and what is going wrong.
However, I also see the opportunity to compromise to make some changes that truly benefit "the 99%", and no I am not referring to socialism. Both sides generally oppose the bailouts, both sides realize there are problems with monetary policy and tax policy.

It is also my understanding that both sides want out of the ME.
