Ron Paul should go to Zucotti Park in New York and speak to the occupiers. America needs an OccuParty, and Paul is just the guy — the only guy in the presidential race with the guts and the brains — to quicken the Occupy Movement and broaden it into a real political force to be reckoned with. Conservatives who fear the movement are allowing the Wall-Street/Washington Establishment to use the Occupy Movement as a bogey to blind conservatives to their true interests and bind them to the establishment.
The occupiers are infuriated because they believe banks stole from them while Tea Partiers are outraged because they believe Big Government stole from them. They’re both right. The Fed rigged interest rates and big government rigged the rules to unhinge the subprime-mortgage, derivatives and credit-default-swaps markets, which the banks took full advantage of, and when the balloon went up they stuck out their hands for a Big Government bailout.
