A Very Simple Venn Diagram of Where the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street Agree

From Alexis Madrigal of The Atlantic (h/t Althouse).

I’d say this is about right, and also shows where libertarians (who share some of the beliefs of these two groups, but definitely not others) land: in the overlapping area of TP and OWS, coming from the area Madrigal assigns to the TP (government has too much power).

Madrigal’s mistaken, really, only to think that the Tea Party consistently holds to the idea that government has too much power; in its support for one-size-fits-all collective bargaining restrictions, imposition of additional burdens on voting rights, and its nativist, anti-labor-market immigration restrictions, the Tea Party is anything but libertarian.
