Occupy Wall Street plans benefit album for itself. Michael Moore is planning to sing(?) The guy putting the disc together said “the goal is to raise between $1 million and $2 million to help fuel the movement that is protesting income disparity.” So now it’s “income disparity” OWS is protesting? And they do that by disrupting the jobs and careers of average people and small businesses? Why not protest air pollution by passing gas at Moore’s mansion? Makes just about as much sense.

use the funds to reimburse every city that had to waste taxpayer dollars by making their police force work overtime,so these commie pigs could piss and cry about why their degree in art history isn't worth the paper it's printed on.
I have an idea: How about using some of the proceeds from this album for counseling for women who were raped at the Occupy protests? Or are they considered part of the 1%?

Tittle of the OWS album and new theme song....I am sure there will be chanting on their too since the collective all thinks and talks as one..you know like communists.... I am also sure it will sell at least,... oh I don't know, a dozen copies, not including the 12 promo companies they will give away to places like PMSNBC, NPR,NBC, etc....But remember those little flying disks make wonderful targets on the range....
Yes, income disparity. The tax eaters have their food, clothing, housing and sometimes transportation paid for by the tax contributers and get to keep any money that they do earn for whatever purpose that pleases them. While the middle class tax payer cedes over 60 percent of their income (in the form of taxes, proxy consumption taxes, fees and inflation) to buy all those things for the tax eaters and with the smaller amount that remains we have to pay for our own food, clothing, housing, transportation and watch the value of what we have saved shrink because the fed just invented more money to keep the welfare programs fully funded.
And so there is a real income disparity in this country. The disparity is that the tax eaters get to spend far more of my income than I do.

So Fatboy Moore is trying to be like the rapper who sold all the tee-shirts? You know, the one who kept all the profits?
PH, exactly!
Moore sees a market niche and he's "capitalizing" on it. Plain and simple.
This could be a big hit---those singing whale records are pretty popular.
"Give me that old time beating and hold the pepper spray"
"The Sounds of Outdoor Pooping, Pissing, and Moaning". Of course most of the intended audience will probably find a way to steal it online since taking something for nothing is all they seem to know.
At best, Occupiers demonstrate a penchant for unintended consequences. At worst, their war on on working people and capitalism is working as planned.
