Forum Post: Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. More in common than we think?

I read this and was really inspired. There is something more to this basic idea. Sure there are differences, usually concerning social issues, but we certainly have common ground. I feel as though if this movement doesn't happen well, no other movement will ever target the corporate agenda again. JUST READ THIS! (PS, I didn't write it).

Tea Party want no taxation and the people need corporate representation. Most Americans now own a piece of a corporation and they have no organized representation in the corporate boardroom. Indeed the system is rigged against small shareholders from organizing and putting forth candidates for the board.

This isn't a Democratic problem or a Republican problem... It's an American problem... And all Americans need to come together to solve it... Tea Party, Occupywallstreet, everybody...

both groups are just polarized into camps to send against each other. capitalists. conservatives. tea parties. liberals, socialists, occupy wall street. in both cases rebels without a clue rebel in the wrong way and make things worse for everyone because they increase entropy and polarization.

The oligarchs are yanking people around on puppet strings with these ideologies.

Please. Ron Paul started the Tea Party focused on the Federal Reserve.

Last time I checked that was the top bank in the country.

Stop pretending the Democrats/Republicans are different parties. Do it for the sake of your kids and country.

eh, my kids keep stealing my damn credit cards. Screw 'em. And isn't Ron Paul some sort of vegas stripper guy or something? Seriously I know that name from somewhere

Quit trolling please. Ron Paul had nice things to say about Dennis Kuccinch recently. The left and right have much more in common than different.
