Neither of the representatives agreed to give their names, but two protesters said they were getting paid to stand outside of the rally, though their wage is unclear: one said she was getting $7.25 per hour, while another man said they were being paid $17 per hour.

It sounds like wage discrimination based on sex.

“one said she was getting $7.25 per hour, while another man said they were being paid $17 per hour”

Well, maybe we should introduce these two!

Brittany Smith, a spokeswoman for Good Jobs Now, confirmed that they had protesters at the events, but said their "activists are NOT paid to protest. We are a statewide community advocacy group."

There is something about that statement that makes it a headscratcher for me....

“Hey, I’ll hickle romney for free!”

On the flip side does that mean you would have to be paid to heckle Obama?

If I were Romney I’d mobilize the local tea party to “join” these people to hold signs like “We’re being paid by Obama”, and “I don’t pay taxes”, “etc”. Things to make liberals look stupid (if that wasn’t already obvious)/.

Wow, they should move to Detroit. Craigslist Detroit had ads for OWS protestors at 13.00 an hour.
