“What is inspiring about this movement is its potential… to rally our country around an idea that we all believe in fundamentally: this government is corrupt,”
If the “Occupy” Movement and Tea Party Join Together, We Can End the Malignant Partnership Between Big Government
It’s like covering up one eye in a 3-D movie … you lose most of the image. Being a partisan Democrat or partisan Republican is using only one of your eyes, and missing the big picture in the process.

One group asks for less government.
The other asks for more.

Conservatives in Congress last week quietly issued another sweeping attack on health, education, and workplace support for middle-class Americans—while preserving protections for the privileged top 1 percent. The conservative assault on the other 99 percent was buried in 150 pages of legislation drafted within the Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee.
At a time when unemployment is near record levels and middle-class incomes stagnate, the bill seeks to eliminate funding for job training and gut basic protections for workers that help ensure they are paid what they are owed. It would slash Pell Grant funding and protects the interests of big businesses by letting colleges (particularly for-profit ones) off the hook for their students’ poor outcomes. And with U.S. poverty rates at a 17-year high, the legislation would slash energy assistance for the vulnerable. It also seeks to overturn policies that ensure all Americans have access to health care.
While the media can continue to portray the two movements as bitter enemies, Ketchum said, in the end, he hopes that the common thread uniting his cause and the tea party will trump their differences.
“For either movement to really be successful we will have to join forces,” Ketchum said. “This is not left versus right. This is all of us against the influence of a very powerful few.”
“What I found very interesting was that there were a lot of similarities between my group and this group during the first meeting,” said Abram, who works for Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group.
“There was a lot of anger and frustration — but the stark difference was that we knew exactly why we were there. We knew we wanted limited government and we were tired of bailouts, but we didn’t know what to do.
