Or have to dip into their trust funds. You know, the money their daddy made on Wall street. These are the same backpack wearing schmucks with their Peruvian hats with the flaps I saw protesting the Repub conventiom when it was in NYC. Then they would check into the Plaza hotel which charges upwards of $5000 a night. And they stayed in the $5000 a night suites because they hung a sign that bashed Bush out of those top windows. How anti-Capitalist of them.
we will be out of money in THREE WEEKS.”

Well, go get a friggin’ job.
Its expensive to run a revolution
As a proud member of the Tea Party, I remember spending my own money for: meals, a nice clean motel room with shower, transportation, and any fees connected with the protest.
What are we doing wrong?
