(AP) NEW YORK - The Occupy Wall Street movement has close to $300,000, as well as storage space loaded with donated supplies in lower Manhattan. It stared down city officials to hang on to its makeshift headquarters, showed its muscle Saturday with a big Times Square demonstration and found legions of activists demonstrating in solidarity across the country and around the world.

Who has raised it? Who owns it? Who is managing it?

Does it go to everyone there? Is it not considered a profit? Can it be taxed?

Did they form a corporation to manage the cash? LOL!

$300k doesn’t seem like very much for a ‘movement’ of this supposed size and duration.

Maybe they can have one of their ‘votes’ and decide whose student loans gets paid off. That ought to be a humorous discussion.

Anrachists don't have to pay tax, and answer to no one.

300 grand isn’t much considering how vast this so called movement is supposed to be.

Give the tea partiers a good reason and they’ll raise a million in a matter of days.

I wonder if most Americans have given any thought about what would happen to their 401K, pensions, etc., if the “Occupy Wall Street” crowd got it’s way?

There will be no accounting. The freeloaders will party. King Obama will see that no investigations or any kind or audit will be taken. We are a communists controlled Nation now and lawlessness is the order of the party.

Wealth or income is a non factor for lefties just As long as the lefty is for ‘economic justice’.

They are completely opposing their own message of equality in the classes of people. They ARE the money hungry ones, not the rich who obviously are the ones who provide jobs for people who actually want to work!

This whole movement is about to backfire on Bambi!

So true! We can do nothing, Bambi is already doing what he wants & we have no recourse, but people still don’t see it!

Who is getting the money?

Are they a legally registered charity?

While the “journalists” are busy writing puff pieces and printing Soros’s press releases about these moochers it would be a good thing to have a few old fashion reporters actually doing some investigative reporting on the real who, what, when and where.

I suspect that a lot of the Useful Idiots have parents or siblings whose 401ks rely on corporations to prosper.

They can’t all be trust fund idiots, can they?

New Yorkers had better get used to the stench and probably the disease germs, as well as the fact that they are paying for all the extras - police protection, electricity, etcetc, that the UIs (Useful Idiots) are stealing from the city.

Get used to it, or take a stand. Their choice.
