Will the 14%ers be able to derail the 99%ers?

The Tea Party is plotting ways to discredit and stop the Occupy Wall Street protests that have swept more than 1,000 cities and towns in the US and are spreading around the world. The Tea Party enjoys strong support from only 14% of Americans today, and their numbers continue to slide. Can they succeed in ensuring that Wall Street can continue with casino capitalism so the “Wealth Creators” can grab even more of the nation’s treasure? How will letting them do that resolve the problem that consumers can’t spend because they have no money?

Since most of the Tea Party members are not in the top 1%, why are they so obsessed with destroying their own jobs and incomes in order to further enrich the top 1%, who have seen their incomes rise 300% over the past 30 years and their taxes fall by more than 50% while the average Tea Party member has seen static or shrinking income coupled with increased taxes? What motivates such reverse Robin Hood behavior?
