There's a lot of Libertarians within OWS, and the Tea Party seems to consist of a lot of typical Conservatives.

I prefer a collaboration of citizens that hate the Financial sector than citizens that want government to shrink a bit.

Both suck in their own way, though. Anarchists are ideal, and you'll probably find a bit more in OWS, but what you have is a lot of any-means-socialists that view the disproportion of wealth and say "that should be shared because look at the starving kids in Africa" and sort of eliminate the fact that Statism causes that in the first place. Now, there are actual Anarchists within the group that realize this and point out how the financial sector is strengthened by government and that the problem IS government, while among the Tea Party you just have people who want lower taxes and maybe less government... it's not as much of a bipartisan movement... just neo-republicans responding to the trend of growing government (a similar thing happened with the Reagan era). I can at least get behind OWS since they encourage getting rid of poverty, and the ideals are coming from many different directions (Statist, Capitalist, Anarchist, and variations of the three); it seems that since the OWS the Obama approval ratings have plummeted, meaning that people aren't as blindly following the Two-Party system anymore (hopefully...) and possibly are listening more to alternative methods for Society to run (hopefully more Anarchists).
