We at MRCTV were in New York City's Zuccotti Park in late October, and one of the things we wanted to do was see how much the people protesting actually knew about...what they were protesting.

Shortly before we left, New York Magazine conducted an experiment called, "Are You Smarter than a Wall Street Protester?" in which they asked a series of questions to the brave soldiers in attendance.

The following questions are in Part II: (For Part I, click here)

- What is the SEC?

- What is the top marginal income tax rate for the richest 1 percent?

- What does the government spend more money on? Health care and pensions, education, or the military?

A better, more fundamental test would be to see how many of them could find their own asses with two hands if you gave them a map.
