So far, Occupy Wall Street seems like a progressive version of the Tea Party Movement. Unlike the Tea Party Movement, Occupy Wall Street was funded and organised primarily by one man, George Soros. The Tea Party Movement was an organic movement started by fed up libertarians and then hijacked by fed up conservatives. This was possible because there were no leaders, no people controlling anything. Occupy Wall Street is quietly being controlled by a maniacal billionaire; therefore, not open.
