Unreliable Muse
A new infographic posted on the Dangerous Minds blog shows some striking differences between the Occupy movement and the Tea Party. The movement is younger, more politically independent, less wealthy and, unfortunately for all of the folks crying laziness, MORE EMPLOYED.

This both makes me smile (on the Occupy side) and shudder— 56% employment and they don’t think SOMETHING IS WRONG with...
