What Is It About High Tea and Occupation?

Every article I've read tells me the same story. The Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street both agree on about 80% of everything. Now the fact is that only the rank and file members of both groups agree. The leadership of the Tea Party, the Republicans and the Religious right, and those who would become the leadership of the Occupy movement, the Democrats and the Unions,  believe that there is little or no agreement. Does that sound familiar to you? Republicans and Democrats, and by that I mean our esteemed leadership, can't agree on anything. So, what is it that the regular members of both movements agree on so much? That things are screwed up, that's what. The only difference is that the Tea folks think it's the government that's to blame while the Occupy group are convinced its Wall Street and bankers that are at fault. Ya know which side is right? The Tea Party is right. The Occupy Wall Street is right. But how can both be right? It's simple when you think about it. Wall Street owns the government. Both Republicans and Democrats get their financing for campaigns and various outings and perks from the folks on Wall Street and at the Banks. And politicians never bite the hand that feeds them. There are other big donors too, but they fall into the main category too. Oh politicians give a brief  'tip of the hat" to the electorate during elections, but that tip is but the tip of that iceberg. Mainly they bow and grovel to the folks that own them. It's interesting to understand why they're owned by such folks. See, the thing is that what they crave most is to remain in power. That power that comes with being a part of the Congress of the United States of America. or being the president to a lesser degree, is like nothing else on earth. But it takes loads of money. The reason the presidency is a lesser degree is that it's limited to two terms, while you can stay in congress forever if you have the money to get reelected. Once you've served as president, that's it. If you're in Congress, you make the laws or break the laws, or change the laws, or you would if you could all agree, which you can't, but you can still make loads of money and open broad opportunities should you ever get defeated and want a high paying job as a lobbyist or public speaker. That and the work week is short and the work season is shorter.
