A Chicago-based "Occupy Wall Street" protestor is allegedly getting paid -- more than many Americans with actual jobs -- to protest corporate greed and the unemployment rate in the United States.

Business Insider has obtained a video interview of a seemingly well-informed Chicago protestor who mentions -- almost in passing -- that he gets paid $22 an hour plus overtime to participate in a Chicago offshoot of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests.

The man describes his protesting work as a "full time gig" and added that an unnamed benefactor, who is presumably providing the salary, is "getting [his] money's worth."

Of course that $22.00 is being funded by you and I, Joe TaxPayer, so maybe we need to get out there and ask for “or fair share” of their earnings!

How many of these protestors are getting paid $350 - $650 weekly to protest and got their gig via Craig’s list?

“Make $350-650 a week “protesting” on Wall Street.”

I find it amusing that the folks offering the 350-650 a week via Craig’s List have platform plank demanding a living wage.

Greedy capitalist protestor protesting more successful greedy capitalists.

Hypocrisy runs thick. Sounds more like sour grapes.

“I find it amusing that the folks offering the 350-650 a week via Craig’s List have platform plank demanding a living wage.”

Those idiots in their late 20’s to their 40’s with instant unemployment degrees, no real work/job history and living in their mom’s basement, $350-650 a week with free food and sex is great for them.
