Many of the issues they bring up should really resonate with Americans of all political stripes. A lot of their grievances are the same as the Tea Parties: stagnant wages, taxes we pay that go for bailouts and bonuses instead of more productive uses, limited opportunity for those not born with silver spoons in their mouths.

They are actually very much at odds, considering the Tea Party seems to be largely financed by that concentration of economic power.
