A debate regarding Occupy Wall Street has had an aspect of "if you want change, you need to get involved in the political process, and get people elected, like the Tea Party has done". Ok, well consider this:

Looking at the Super Committee is going to fail at reaching a buget resolution. So, the question I have is: If Washington shows itself unable to be able to even agree to the most basic of requirements, like balancing a budget, how in the heck does getting involved in politics, to end up partisaning one party and pressuring it to go to a narrow band, and maybe getting a few candidates elected (like the Tea Party) going to change anything? If a nation can't even agree on doing basic things, how does adding even more partisanship to it and attempting to ramrod one's agenda through, going to change anything?
