HMMM.... Let's think about this a little, shall we? The Tea Party consists of people that drag their A$$'s out of bed in the morning and go work. When you work you have money. If you have money then you can choose to spend some of it to go to DC for a demonstration.
The kids on Wall Street don't have jobs because they're sitting their A$$'s on Wall Street instead of doing something like finding a lawn that needs mowing or whatever else they can do to EARN a buck. The key word here that throws them is EARN.
