OWS acts more in accordace with the spirit of the original grievance than the 'appeal to authority bigoted bible thumpers' do. Only through Christ could a bunch of priviledged bunch of twats convince a gullible, but significant, portion of the electorate to adhere to the idea that making them richer enables the downtrodden. Fucking saps!
Actually, the original tea partiers in Boston seemed somewhat more akin in their immediate interests to the occupy movement anti-globalization crowd. The British wanted the efficient corporation with global reach - east Indian company - to outsource American tea to where it could be grown more efficiently. Tea party localvores objected.
Hey, it's just as good a story!
