PaulS, the demands I posted are actual demands from the occupiers websites. That is irrefutable FACT. A $20/hr minimum wage and elimination of all debt. I'm not making that up, that's what they say they want.
You respond by making up radical jibberish (not wanting to pay any taxes) that are positions that have never been endorsed by the Tea Party. Go ahead PaulS, you post a link showing where any official Tea Party group said they don't want to pay any taxes.
The Tea Party does NOT want a 0% tax rate. We want responsible, sustainable tax rates. If that sounds radical to you, so be it. But don't compare that position to the notion that we can eliminate all debt with the push of a button.
I'm sorry if the actual facts make liberals seem deranged, but don't take that out on Tea partiers.
You may also be interested to know (though I doubt it) that conservatives have been shown to actually be more generous than liberals (more likely to donate time to charity, more likely to give $$ to charity, more likely to give blood). This makes sense to me, as conservatives are more religious, as a group, than liberals. The study was called Who Really Cares, and here is an analysis of it from the New York Times, which even though it's a liberal rag, could not refute it.
