The columnist of this article does not even believe that this movement should be recognized, and unlike Vice President Biden, doesn't see any similarities between it and the Tea Party movement. He claims that there are "no adults among the protesters," who would be responsible enough to help the economy by looking for jobs. Instead, they are just gathering in crowds to draw attention to themselves and gain political power.

In this writer's opinion, those who are occupying wall street are not comparable to the Tea Partiers, who had their movement a couple years ago. It bothers when people say they are similar in any way. He believes that the people that are occupying wall street are just criminals who want to "tear America down," whereas the Tea Party movement wanted to rebuild it, and force the government to be responsible again.

Clint Reilly agrees with the movement on wall street, or the other 99%, that are protesting against the 1% who make 25% of the nation's income. They do not have a sense of responsibility towards their fellow millions of Americans because, in his opinion, they are selfish and since they are so wealthy, the problems of the lower classes have no importance or affect on them. He believes in the importance of the demonstrations and that it is hopeful that so many people are participating in this organized, peaceful movement.
