C-Span Washington Journal is having people call in and voice their opinion on what the difference between OWS and The Tea Party. What do you think the difference? First of all it's topics. Money in our government is the problem. The middle class wants it's country back.
The Tea Party's boogeyman is the government. They want business to fix government.
Occupy Wall Street's boogeyman is business. They want government to fix business.
The Tea party is comprised of members of the racist right wing. They are intolerant, destructive of dialog, spoiled and greedy. They are also all local. There is no international tea party.
OWS is positive, global, inclusive and growing.
Obama is wrong. There is no comparison.
Tea Party is not funded by George Soros. I wish OWS could claim they weren't.
Tea Party as some good concerns but they losing steam as running cranks, and oath keepers don't win you elections. OWS gotta be careful as if they will look like Marxists there will be backlash by voters. How did Nixon get elected because of backlash against Hippies and constant rioting you don't want to go that route. Do not fight the police, if they arrest do not resist, if you get in confrontation do not encourage violence.
Better off pressing legislation that will at make it US congressional or US senate hearing to expose it. That legislation will pass if you talk to right politicians on the left and right. Not all Republicans are crazy and not all Democrats are really care about the small people. Both the Democratic and the Republican Party have decent people, but they also have people that are trash.
