To be honest with you I am always amazed by the level of sheer lunacy (dare I say idiocy?) shown by these protestors. So, Kanye West (a guy with so much money that for his last video he trashed a US$350,000 Maybach ....had it ripped up with guys with saws and torches so he could drive around in a torn up car), and Russel Simmons is a businessman mogul who is not only one of the most powerful figures in the music industry (especially hip hop), but also one of the richest with a vast array of business interest spanning many areas (beyond music). So, those two chaps are part of the '99%?' Do the OWS people not see the irony? One person who not only trashes a Maybach like it is nothing and wears clothes only once; and another person who is far far far richer than the first and has a zen meditation room specifically built for that?
Yep, they are the 99%. Next you will see Russian oligarchs addressing the crowd and the Waltons feeling their needs.
As someone one said, commonsense is not common.
