Furthermore I don't actually see a difference between the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street other than their names.
Both want something and neither had an actual plan or purpose. The Tea Party wanted the government to not invade their personal lives but then wants to vote in LBGT legislation. The extent of their concern for how the first portion of that sentiment was minimal and pretty much pushed back to the politicians with shouts of "DO SOMETHING BUT DO LESS OF IT!." The latter portion of it is just an example of how hypocritical those sets of values were.
OWS wants the government to not be controlled by corporations but wants jobs from said corporations. That's not AS directly related, at least... but that's like disowning your children then asking them not to send you to a home when you get old.
To use one of our recent definitions on these very boards: Out of those two, which one sounds like it's for the greater good of the people and not just a person? The government there is to protect the people and provide an ordered system with which to carry out procedures for it's citizens. At least, that's what they say they do.
