Tea Party ideas — social programs don’t work, taxes and regulations are bad, helping people is not government’s role and best left to churches — have become the holy writ for many, who maybe don’t know we tried laissez faire in the 19th century and the resulting horror led to the government regulation and safety net now under attack.

What a maroon. Times have changed since the 19th century bub!

I talked to a few of these occupy fellows. They were fighting amongst themselves, accusing each other of theft and laziness. If they were dynamite they could not blow their nose.

How about the many who prefer to remember the twentieth century Socialist-Marxist fix resulting in genocides, pogroms, death camps, gulags, starvation's and mass executions by the most tyrannical big governments in the history of the planet, as a more important horror to remember, Neil?

I bet the author is “rich” by OWS standards. Also, her inability to understand that both parties are in the pockets of special interests is demented.

The Federal government has too much (unconstitutional) power and too much money to hand out and the politicans get to decide who gets what. That is why they are up for sale. That is the root of the corruption.
