OWS: Another Political View
market-ticker.org
 You know what the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is?
It is all the things that were in the original Tea Party, but were steadily ignored as the TP became a Republican booster club.
The Tea Party is a contradiction. They want a balanced budget, but they also want the US military to intervene everywhere. Obamacare is a dirty word, but don’t dare touch social security or medicare. Individual rights are important too, but don't push it too far. After all, republicans came up with today's policies.
There are a few nuts in the OWS crowd, but from what I hear "Occupy Wall Street" is about bringing the fraudsters to justice. Its about changing the banker/government dynamic that runs this country. It's about free markets. It's about ending endless debt. It's about stopping the wars. It's about the rule of law. It's about the libertarian soul of America.
Since the TP lost the focus of addressing the root problems of America, they remain unresolved.
It’s sad, really. The TP talks about sewer legislation, redistricting, and supporting House Speaker Boehner's plan to add $2 trillion in debt, while the real issue is Congress has spent more than it takes in, and the costs of the promises outweigh the means to pay them. In the process, you and I are less free than we used to be.
There was no place left for folks to go.
It's up to the Libertarians to let them know there is a place for them with us.
