The Wall Street protesters have amassed a $230,000 war chest and a warehouse full of supplies for their long-haul campaign.

And the money continues to pour in -- through online donations, money orders and about $1,000 a day dropped in a plastic jug and paint buckets in Zuccotti Park.

Occupy Wall Street has also been flooded with goods -- everything from peanut butter to tampons -- at a rate of about 100-400 new packages a day that has overwhelmed the local UPS branch.

Most of the supplies are being stashed in a United Federation of Teachers storage facility near the park.

~snip~

They include so-called “jail support kits,” which include a blanket, granola bar and sanitary wipes to give to people as they get out of the slammer.

It will be interesting to see where this money goes,
will taxes be paid on it? Who controls it, etc.

Barack Hussein Obama makes twice that much at just one fundraising dinner with his elite, artsy fartsy Hollywood donors. Sorry losers. I’m not impressed. You’re going to have to do better than that. Pennies “pouring in” isn’t going to cut it.

Maybe they can buy the property they are living on and erect a tent city right in the middle of Manhattan. Bloomberg should be happy.

Seems to me, when a Mayor can't control the "in your face", unlawful behavior of the minority of people living in the city, he's lost control of his city.

Pretty soon Russian surrogates will be airlifting arms in.

Or maybe "Gunwalker 2, Occupy" is implemented.

Pshaw! Liberals don’t worry about them. They never pay their debts.

Taxes? Those folks never pay taxes. Taxes are for the little people — you and me.

Surround the park with fire trucks, douse the park every night from 10:00 pm until 4:00 am. Fly helicopters and dump water on them if you have to. Just make sure it’s clean water.

The’ll be gone by the 3rd night. If not, just keep repeating. Keep ‘em wet, keep ‘em cold and keep the ground a mud pit.

Sounds like a plan. But Bloomie would probably refuse to issue the permits, and the Fire Dept (being Union) would probably refuse to operate the engines and hoses.

The utter cesspool of corruption in this country is dumbfounding. Where did it come from??? Remember when a TeaPartyer would even raise his/her voice, he/she would be accused of terrorism and kkkism and racism and on and on and on BY THE SYCOPHANT MEDIA. These degenerates will burn and slash our cities and media will report it as, some “They” hijacked the peaceful movement!!! WHO IS THEY???? They IS THEM all the way!

Even our kids teachers have become the enemy and saboteurs out to destroy everything right about this country. Damn damn damn. I am so sick of it.

The Occupy rabble are a black hole for money, and they will never give anything back.

Taxes are for the little people —

Nooooo, taxes are for the rich, are you not paying
attention? Free college, free housing, free food,for
everyone, with taxes for the rich who aren’t paying their “fair share”.
Of course they never talk about what the “fair share”
of everyone else is, appearently it’s zero.

It’s amazing to me how anyone can fall for the communist
line after it has failed where ever it has been tried.

Why do these idiots need the resources that capitalism has produced? Let the sons a bitches live the eutopia that they’re calling for. That would end this crap real quick.
