With confusing agendas but an overall dissatisfaction in the way our government is being run, are there any two groups more alike than Tea Party conservatives and the Occupy Wall Street protesters? Probably. There probably are, actually.
But since both groups talk in broad slogans, it’s not so hard to find the most staunch political conservatives suddenly sounding like those “hippies” currently protesting capitalism. Let’s take a look!
They are totally different. The “occupywallstreet” people are basically socialists that are looking for a free ride in life. They are the “Give-Me Generation” that does not understand self-reliance or anything of the sort. The Tea Party is all about fiscal responsibility in government and capitalism. Massive difference. They would not get along.
Tea party is about ME ME ME versus US. Don’t kid yourself.
Tea Party is about expressing unrest with government expenditure and corruption in a failing economy.
In short, they’re all for dismantling a system that favors companies and bureaucracies over real people who want to get jobs and make enough to put food on the table and pay for their kids’ education.
Occupy Wall St. is about expressing unrest with corporate greed and social irresponsibility in a failing economy.
In short, they’re all for dismantling a system that favors companies and bureaucracies over real people who want to get jobs and make enough to put food on the table and pay for their kids’ education.
Quit trying so hard to hate each other. I’m a Libertarian and I believe that we don’t have to have one half of America conquer the other half to fix our nation.
If the tea partiers really cared at all about excessive government spending, they would be scanning every line of the military budget, and they would be screaming about the trillion-or-so dollars that was casually declared “missing” by Rumsfeld some years ago. Instead, they’re trying to save pennies by cutting Medicare and preventing universal healthcare, which will increase social costs in the long run and even. They are motivated by ideology, not good sense.
Do not confuse the tea party with the republican party. The tea party is for cutting far more than republicans. NO – universal healthcare will not save any money, and if you had followed recent news on it you are seeing that some of the CBO estimates have being revised recently that undo most of the fuzzy obama math that was used to sell it. Only people like you still hold hope for obamacare. Conservatives are coming in the election in 12 months, and we will send obamacare to its final place in history… the shredder. Obama, himself, will return home to Illinois to live out his golden years with the love of his life – his reflection in the mirror.
