FR: (with a dip of the head to Moon). These protest are part of the same social movement that encompasses the TEA party, simply from a different angle, and from a generally different group of people. The TEA parties believe that the government has gained too much power, and is gaining that power partially through the increasing tax burden. The more powerful a government, the easier and more likely that the levers of power will be used for the advantage of those individuals, groups and companies which can gain access to those increased levers of power i.e. many large businesses. These protestors are against that, but have identified the incorrect root cause. The more accurate reason for the problems they are against is indeed the increased power of government. Unfortunately, the method that they wish to use to "correct" corporatism is increased government power and oversight. In the end, this will only make the problem worse, not better. Firm
