re: #90 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

I’m remaining ambivalent because, as with the Tea Party, I expect the whole Occupy movement to eventually become little more than a political arm of the DNC, when it’s not being used to promote the policies of groups like ANSWER.

Believe it or not, I once did find some appeal in the Tea Party. I thought they sounded like folks who were truly fed up with things and wanted real change. Then the surface got peeled back and it was just the same bunch of yahoos and WASPs as every election, screaming “Down with Big Government, But Keep Your Hands Off My Medicare!”

In a way, it’s too bad. Right now there is momentum to make change in the financial regulations —what change? I have no idea.

There is also the danger that change will be made (ka-ching) for change’s sake. With no real improvement and maybe a net loss for all.
