Also the Tea Party needs a bit of a history lesson or to find a new name. The original Tea Party was about unfair taxes but not about too much is was about too little on the East India Company.
TEA -- Taxed Enough Already
They did form to fight new and increasing taxes. Their underlying philosophy was and remains, less government intervention and let people create wealth.
Read history. The feudal system in England kept people as slaves to a few landowners beholder to a royalty that did nothing to better life for the common person.
In theory the unions would benefit from a strong midde class. Welcome to reality. The unions along with the government are destroying the middle class. The unions depend on employers paying everyone a wage. In practice it is less work for more wage.
The government depends on keeping people subjected to dependence on the handout. In practice, no work for pay.
Those getting rich are the politicians, elected by (should say selected by) those that will keep them in power.
Sorry, I don't buy into the benovalence of unions. At one time they had a purpose. That time is past.
Nor do I buy into big business. T. Roosevelt did good as the "trust buster". Cousin FDR messed that up with the introduction of social security. Each succeding congress (and President) has managed to morph that simple supplemental income safety net into a social welfare monster with the populace be holding to the government.
In that scenario, there is no middle class.
IMHO, the Tea Party believes in a middle class. The Occupiers only want their share given to them with nothing offered in return.
So, who pays the bill? Over 50% of the population pays no taxes.
