Men’s Wearhouse Customer Returns Suit for Supporting Occupy Wall St.

A friend of mine decided to let the Men’s Wearhouse know how he feels about their support of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement. He returned a bag full of suits that he had purchased from them and captured the entire episode on video (see below).

As you can see from the photograph, the Men’s Wearhouse in Oakland, California decided to place a sign in their window showing their support for the OWS movement. According to an article by Ed Morrissey over at Hot Air.com, Men’s Wearhouse founder George Zimmer is financial supporter of President Obama and the socialist Democratic National Committee.

This may come as a surprise to many since Zimmer is obviously a capitalist and has made a considerable fortune hawking suits and other assorted men’s apparel. In fact, the menswear mogul has a net worth close to a billion-dollars according to Celebrity Networth.com. Not too shabby in global recession.

I decided to dig a little deeper and found that in 2011 alone, Zimmer has contributed $22,900 to left-wing Democrats such as President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Dianne Feinstein according to Open Secrets.org.

Well George, I can tell you one thing, I won’t ever set foot in another one of your stores, I guarantee it!

A tie knotted and tied around the neck? Not for me.

Well, sometimes it's just expected in the workplace. While my current employer allows "casual dress" nearly 100% of the time, when I was employed as a field service tech, I had to wear slacks, dress shirt, and tie, and my first action on-site was to tuck my tie into my shirt so it wouldn't get caught in a computer. And later, when I worked as an network system instructor, I was expected to wear a suit and tie any time I was teaching, possibly since the students were each paying about $500 a day for my time, and I had to present an image as a "professional."

But now I only wear a suit and tie when I go to funerals or religious services.

Wow. You need to unclench that ass and let out the swarm of bugs that the Lord Of Hosts unleashed on Egypt millenia ago. Those bugs need air.
