Help me defeat this guys argument against Ron Paul

[Paulitics 2011]

"The occupy movement wants more goverment regulation on banks higher taxes on the top 1 percent, and more spending on socal programs like education, and infastructure.

The tea party wants to lower taxes on the top 1 percent, remove all goverment regulation of banks and business anc cut federal spending on infastructure and education

They don't have allot in common.

So when ron wants to audit the fed, and go after banks but cut back on the laws that regulate them he is just talking out of both sides of his mouth its funny he even disagees with him self at times.

While it is true that the tea party is more right-wing and the Occupy movement is more left wing, they are both broadly populist movements and have some things in common. For example, they're both against the bailouts. They're both against corrupt, dishonest leaders. The tea party would like to cut spending in general, and the occupy movement would like to see military spending cut. There are some similarities.

Also, Paul has never really said he supports the Occupy movement, but rather, that they are justified in their anger. He does say that their methods and targets are misplaced, however.

Hello, I have been a huge supporter of Ron Paul since first hearing him debate in 07. I have roamed this board in the past reading articles but never had a
need to post anything, until now. I have been in an argument with this guy about Ron Paul "talking nonsense" and claiming to be a hypocrite when dealing
with the tea party & occupy movements. I have tried all the basic arguments like how RP predicted the Iraq war, housing bubble burst, inflation, oil price
increases, ect... I have also attempted to argue the roots of Occupy with its opposition to the bank bailout and Tea party with its opposition to excessive
government spending are the same. I was hoping you guys could give me some help with how to respond to his last message.

Thanks for any help, maybe with a sound argument I may be able to convert this guy.

He needs to understand that asking congress to put rules and regulations on big business/banks is literally asking big business/banks to make the rules. They own most of congress. The small handful whom they don't own are the likes of Ron Paul and much of the rest go along to get along.

He needs to understand that he is an unwitting frontman for Big Business (AKA. A useful idiot)
