Campus Reform: Purdue University - Main Campus

On Tuesday, April 24th Purdue Young Americans for Liberty participated in Purdue's annual 'Tent Town', a weeklong event hosted by student organizations on campus. Each organization receives one day to sponsor the event and chooses a specific theme for their display. Purdue YAL took this opportunity to host the theme of "Occupy Tent Town" where they had a 3 hour debate over student activism and the future of the liberty movement.  They also discussed the occupy movement.

The group took this opportunity to illustrate the difference between crony capitalism and real capitalism.  The discussion focused on why the Occupy movement should not blame Wall Street for the current financial crisis, but instead understand that the marriage of big government to big corporations is the real culprit.
