The Occupy movement is demonstrating against the power of large corporations that is backed by the power of the state. One of the complaints of the American Revolution was the power of a large corporation, The East India Company, backed by the power of the British state.
See "American Rebellions" by Thom Hartmann and "Boston Tea Party", Wikipedia.
You might say the modern Tea Party has taken on the wrong target, instead of limited government they should be seeking limited limited liability corporations.
