COMPARE THE TWO
Apparently a lot of people (especially the media)
are confusing the two. Tea party members
stand for free market capitalism, individual responsibility, self reliance,
individual liberties, and a limited federal government.
The Tea
Party Express is guided by these 5 basic principles:
- No more bailouts
- Reduce the size and intrusiveness of government
- Stop raising our taxes
- Repeal Obamacare
- Cease out-of-control spending
- Bring back American prosperity and jobs
As for the Occupy Wall
Street Protest, it is still not exactly apparent what they are protesting
about. The motivation behind their rage seems to be anything from corporate
greed, redistribution of wealth, free college tuition, guaranteed wages
(whether you work or not), defending the people against the man, all the way to
anarchy.
Their motivations, their
behavior and their disrespect for the principles that made this country great
could not stand in starker contrast to the Tea Party.
The only commonality that is that both
are opposed to the bailouts of Wall Street - and that is it.
