The wealthy do not do jail.It's not on their card.They have good lawyers on retainer and will hire a couple more if ever arrested.The tea party is a mystery to me.It looks like something from an old romance movie.I think that might be what's in their heads.

We, the taxpayers and Real Americans, need to point out the truth that it's actually the Same Old Divisive Reactionaries using Hobnail Booted Thugs who are always hired by the Wealthy Few to eliminate All Progressive Political Movements, either by killing us off or whisking those of us who expose the State Terrorism being used globally to Concentration Camps in Gitmo or Diego Garcia.

Hey! Wait a second. What's that pounding behind ....................................

OWS represents a push for systemic change while the Tea Party does not. This means the greedy Wall St psychopaths who own the system and are busily destroying the middle classes feel threatened by OWS. They know that if OWS exposes their power then they might lose it. This is why so many OWS supporters end up in jail.

Fails in one crucial regard: it does not answer the question posed in the headline.

Yes, it's n interesting comparison of the two groups. But WHY are more OWS protesters arrested and jailed than TP protesters? You won't find the answer here.

Yes, they're different in age, education, wealth, political affiliation, and so forth, but the infographic fails to answer its own question.

How about the pics of armed Teabagger protests w/cops looking on & no arrests, while the peaceful protests of the OWS are beaten and thrown in jail. There are paid troublemakers inserted into these groups to give them a bad name - it hasn't worked, it won't work. Every time there are violent aggressions against the OWS, WE, the PEOPLE need to raise Hell - contact your senators, congressmen, newspapers, online, BE VOCAL, BE MANY RAISING HELL, then there's no reason not to listen. KEEP IT UP!!! WE are the 99%, SHOW that WE are the 99% and won't be ignored.

I was part of both. For the OWS movement, I was there from September 17th forward till the overt ending, the day RememberBuilding7.org had organized their first march from Zuccotti. I was on the streets in Birmingham, AL. For the Ron Paul campaign, in mid 2006 I went to meetings and hung signs and have backed RP until now, where Rand and Romney goes this inheritance, sadly, but with some merit (meritorious?). Did the prior movement beget the latter, I ask? It has been less than ideal, either, in any event, but this is a bifurcation principle in the mathematical and moralistic history of evolution, if anyone cared about ecology, a record of the worst events of time (Lindisfarne Association scientists, GUT-CP, William Binney and Indira Singh, for example). This is funny to me because my problems with the system have become the clan of leadership's claim I am two people in some modern example of psychological profiling, or just not personable enough, perhaps. I can't figure out which, but it was a death row sentence they control, still, and totalitarianism is the consummate abuse of education (Norman Dodd), not the unified, but the homogenized, symmetrical and asymmetrical contributions to productivity, one psychological analogy (Gregory Bateson), or the recursive complimentary actions of those components forming politics, an ecology. Conversation is another subject (Francisco J. Varela), unfortunately. Saul Bellow's execution by the mafia should not be ignored for these matters. There is much more.

Always and, yet, for the issue of productivity in my case, EGN stock rose by a multiple of 5 from 7/97 until 8/06, the time of my abrupt termination (insidious society, ours, I could go on, frighteningly, I mean personally) where during that time I fully integrated and networked the engineering data of this upstream petroleum company flawlessly, essentially, and where roughly 90% of the industry needing this niche software uses this digital technology now, valuation software I told Halliburton how to fix so commercializing it in a networked setting could proceed. With no growth hence, the final benefactor is rich beyond belief collecting charity from Walmart customers for construction of a hospital, Children's I might add, he the CEO having passed through the proverbial turnstile I turned down at the same time he moved on, perhaps not knowing how crazy it was to become (I, with the disbelief of Alice), or hopeless it was to become when I had hope for the planet, even. I am at poverty's doorstep for denying that the trenches of WWII is where we all should be through this storm, or something like it for the ignorance of the landscape of history and war. That is where the money problems of today began, war, and should unify the motivations of humanity, and both movements. SWAT is co-opted by the cells it is supposed to go after. It begins with a second grade education of AI and parallel processing, genetic algorithms, neural networking, and fuzzy logic used to follow the money, and launder it.

Duh. OWS is for real. The Tea Partiers were just a distraction.

None of the old line parties can ever be trusted again.

Elect honest people and claw back wages and pensions of the Politicians and Business people that caused this mess. Maybe a little jail time just to even the playing field.
