RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Anti-Wall Street protestors have a new downtown Raleigh tent village that the landowner says is an example of good old capitalist supply and demand.

**SNIP**

The land for the tent village with a library, kitchen, social area and portable toilet is costing demonstrators $400 a month, which an anonymous donor has offered to cover.

This is still nonsense. How many zoning and land use violations are being ignored here?

Could we at least see a car wash or something, as just a pretense that they’re not complete parasites?

Oops, “car wash”, bad example.

Having worked in restaurants in the past I was witness to the Health Inspectors and how much power they have. Where the heck are they?

That would involve washing the cars of evil capitalist pigs and therefore isn’t allowed. Also, cars are evil and destroy fluffy bunnies and unicorns, and washing them implies that they are performing labor for The Man and that’s not allowed.

Plus, they might come in contact with soap and we can’t have that.

at least they (or rather their sponsor) is paying something. In most places everything is provided for free for this mob, courtesy of the taxpayers by way of Democrat politicians.

The cynic in me suspects that the "donor" will be writing off his contribution as a taxable deduction.

Yes, I imagine that this “spontaneously formed” group already is considered to be a charitable group with the IRS so that the Left can get their tax write-offs while demanding that the rest of us pay more.
