Bonus:
Over the last year, guitarist Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine has positioned himself as one of the most active and vocal celebrity supporters of OWS. Morello has organized several large protests and concerts to help the Occupy movement.
For the September 17th anniversary, Tom is planning to lead a massive protest march throughout New York City’s financial district. The goal of this protest is to “disrupt traffic throughout the Financial District by creating a swirl of roving intersection occupations surrounding the Stock Exchange [in order to imagine] a world without Wall Street.”
Morello’s goals seem slightly ironic when you consider his net worth is $30 million! $30 million makes Tom not only a standing member of the 1%, but he’s more like the .001%.
Meanwhile, Morello’s Rage Against the Machine band mate Zack de la Rocha recently landed on our list of the richest lead singers in the world with a net worth of $25 million. De la Rocha has remained relatively quiet over the last year, but he did release a poem that was “dedicated to the Occupy movement whose courage is changing the world.”
In a further twist of hypocrisy, Zach’s poem tells protesters “stay strong, we are winning.”
I’d love to see both Morello and de la Rocha donate their entire net worths and join the real ranks of the 99%. If that happened, we might take them more seriously.
