The Boston Tea Party was protesting the EXACT OPPOSITE of what Occupy wants, which is why the Occupy movement is a complete joke and always will be.

Did already do destroy the property of others, which is why they have no respect from the public.

Occupy argued just like the Tea Party against the bail out of the banks. Basically that is the same complaint the founders had. Being taxed on something they did not agree with or have any real say about it.

Parks don't belong to any one group. I would have preferred that they camped out in bank lobbies since after all, they now owned them in part also.

I dont recall the Boston Tea Party (which was the discussion) having anything to do with the banks..

other than that, the occupy movement was all about government doing more, not less, which of course costs more money, thus the occupy movement was a protest FOR MORE taxes.. the complete opposite of the Boston Tea Party protests who wanted left alone.
