If the Tea Party aligns with OWS, I am no longer associated with the Tea Party. OWS is the enemy and stands against everything we are supposed to stand for. I want nothing to do with those scum.
No, I don’t think there is a merger happening, but I guess even within the tea party you’re going to get class warfare rhetoric. If some tea partiers think events shouldn’t happen unless they’re free, well it’s no wonder Obama won.
I helped with a big event at a church a couple of years ago. we charged $50 for a day long event with three tracks of panels and training. Everyone agreed the content was great, but they were angry about the ticket price for a church venue-which they incorrectly assumed was free. We barely broke even on expenses.
