May I suggest the "We Party" now known as the 99% of the people as an alternative to the "Tea Party" which tends to represent the 1% of the people, those chosen by birth to inherit the earth?
If Jefferson was right, we are watching the revolution he thought would be necessary in a democracy, once in a while at least, in the Occupy Wall Street movement. Interesting. Perhaps only a passing fancy but a reminder, nevertheless, that though the few when organized can be powerful, the many when organized have more power than the few. Especially with pitchforks.
If I were a banker, I would remember what happened to bankers in Germany in the day. History doesn't necessarily repeat itself, but it has its echoes.
