This is making the rounds at Facebook...
There are some serious issues not taking into context within the graph...
Another attempt by the left to equate the TEA Party with the useful idiot vermin at OWS
The real question is what the end results of each movement....

If the Owsers don’t understand that their lives and those of individuals within capitalist Corporations are being controlled by Government rules, regulations and laws - they are doomed.
TEA party participants understand the difference!

Government has way to much control over corporations. They tax and regulate them to the point where lobbying (bribing) congress is the most cost effective means of doing business.

Someone needs to do one for the differences. Methods, crime, responsibility, morality, violence, etc.
The fact that we might agree on some items is buried by the differences and the way they try to get things done.

It’s overly simplistic to the point of being useless, and just a way to create a ‘dialogue.’ I could easily make such a graph showing the ‘similarities’ between pro-life and pro-abort (both ‘respect life of the mother’), Dem/Rep (both ‘agree that taxes are needed to fund government’) and so on.
OWS is militantly against corporations and demand the end of capitalism (at least they did last time I checked). TP acknowledges that there are problems with such things but are focused on electing people who will cut budgets and live according to our Constitution, and among many things that will of course involve dealing with corruption and corporations, etc.

You're right, there's a lot more to it than is in that graph. I like these:
To: Popman
Still the biggest difference...
Tea Party = Tax Payers, protesting funding government.
OWS = Tax Recipients, protesting not enough funds from government.

from conservatism, as examined by a liberal-leaning libertarian who believes in tolerance, diversity, and compassion, and is offended way too easily.”
Pile of liberal crap.

Yup...create dialog so uniformed apolitical mushy middle voters who decide who get elected think Tea Party and OWS are different sides of the same coin

That's a excellent point...when government picks winners and losers it tips the level playing and skews the outcome....which kills innovation job creation and progress
The energy sector is an excellent example of that

The people behind the OWS want way more than just more government money, they want to overthrow the entire capitalist structure and impose their version of whatever fantasy they believe in

An over-simplification to be sure but which side of that "chart" do we have at least some power to change?
And which group of people is trying to change the chart by lawful means and which group is using violent anti-social methods?

Corporations pay protection money. Government is the mob.
