Whats The Difference Between Occupy and the Tea Party?

Since Occupy started, I have been fascinated by their inability to see their own irony. Put aside the hippie protesting big corporations while listening to his Ipod, tweeting on his Ipad, drinking Starbucks coffee, and using free WIFI on a giant internet network. Put that all aside, what is their message? They are upset that some people are wealthy and some are not. Or more importantly, some people can make money a whole lot easier than others. The issue with Occupy is that they cannot see past the surface. There initial instinct is to go where the money ended up. Not where the money originated from.

Whats the difference between Occupy and the Tea Party? Nothing!
Shocked? Well let me defend my outrageous statement. Obviously there are differences on the surface. One group showers, follows local laws, demonstrates peacefully, cleans up there messes, buys permits, etc. The other (Occupy) ...well....does the exact opposite. Not all of them, but a lot of them.
As I said these are surface differences. So lets put them aside, what is the main difference between Occupy and the Tea Party? Location and Understanding. That is it,
The Tea Party group protests the governments overstepping powers as a whole. They don't protest dems and libs only. They protest any official who supports anti-constitutional spending of tax money. They are against bailouts, corporate loopholes, big business that is profitable getting subsidies. Basically they are against EVERYTHING occupy is against. The only difference as I said is that they know who is responsible. They are protesting where the money originates. Its like yelling at a kid for having too many suckers but not saying a word to the neighbor who is giving them away non stop.
There is nothing more ironic than an Occupy protester who loves Obama. Receiving more wall street money than any preceding pres.

Occupy needs to protest on main street not wall street.
You cannot blame a company for taking free money. If you can, than don't yell at me if I get mad at a welfare recipient who takes free money as well.

Who is giving the free money? That is where you protest. Tea Party knows this because they understand how our economy and government works. Occupy needs to first clean up there act and then join forces with the Tea Party for a more responsible government.
