If they actually were able to understand what is being done to them they would be camping on the front porch of the largest recipient of Goldman Sachs contributions during the last election.

Alas, they know not the source of their pain, and have thus sunk to mere comic buffoonery.

Just a very sad testament to their poor situational awareness.

Sending postage-paid return envelopes stuffed with junk has been around for a while. I first recall seeing it in connection to junk mail protests about a decade ago. Can't say I haven't stuffed a few myself for (very) cheap thrills. I think Andy Rooney may have proposed the idea originally. You can put almost anything in them.

Funny how some of these protestors have pretty nice homes for being poor.

Opulent homes of ‘the 99 percent’ [SLIDESHOW] New Jersey: This quaint 3,800-square-foot manse sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, and it's valued at nearly $500,000. The poverty-stricken Occupy Wall Street protester who lives here was arrested on

It was discovered that the average occupy wall "streeter" was a member of a family whose household income was around $350,000. Oh, and the 99% they all claim to be in are in the top 1% world wide. Must be nice to have the time to "have fun" camping out while you are living off mommy and daddy.

Right, only they still live in the basement; only to ascend for dinner. A bunch of clueless, spoiled-rotten brats.
