Rick Santelli Describes Difference Between Tea Party and Occupy Movement

NBC’s Rick Santelli in 60 seconds Tuesday perfectly described the difference between the Tea Party and the Occupy movement.

Responding to a question from “Squawk Box” guest host Arthur Brooks of the American Enterprise Institute, Santelli dispelled the notion that “the Tea Party’s done” (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary):

RICK SANTELLI: While the vandals are on the street corners, the Tea Party conservatives they’re working state houses, the governorships, the mayorships, the Senate, the House. See, they understand, they’ve read the Constitution. If you want to make a difference, don’t go break windows, okay? Break some phony arguments that things like austerity are going to put you in the hole. What put you in the hole is borrowing 38 cents of every dollar you spent. That’s what put you in the hole, pure and simple. Everything else is political spin.
