It seems that railing against big banks and the reviled 1 per cent is actually a big business in itself for the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Over the past three months since the Occupy Wall Street protests began, the movement raised a whopping $706,855.91 through online and personal donations.

After massive amounts of laundry, food, and subway passes, the group now has $300,000 left to spend as they see fit.

What would be the theme song?

"Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue?

Isn’t it quite possible that they will save the money to use in next year’s protests? Many have thought that the Occupy movement was just a warm up to what we’ll see next year, in the Obama re-election campaign.

"What would be the (Occupy Wall Street) theme song?"

IMHO, "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones.

And not one media shill will suggest they should reimburse the cities for cleaning up their filth.

If the stupid bass turds had any sense, they would have used all of that money to pay off some of the student loans that they are all whining about. College “students” aren’t very bright these days.

Cities should sue them for the money they spent at least 99% of it.

Invest it in the 1%. Then in a few years, you might be able to pay for all the damage you did around the country.

Occupy Brooklyn: The group spent $9,500 on a previously-foreclosed home that they will now refurbish and give to a needy family.

Why don't they give it back to the people who lost it? After all, didn't the evil bank steal it from them?
