If you see some of the protesters, up close, at some of the best DC hotels, coming out to go to the protests, you would wonder just as I do who is paying them... We saw hundreds of them many years while I was going back in the spring months...The hotels are very expensive, the equipment these folks carry is very expensive...large cameras, megaphones, walkie talkies, cell phones, etc etc....well dressed to look like a mess..(like Betsey Johnson types and the trendy shops that charge $100+ for jeans with patches and holes...etc) There are so many people, that one wonders if they do have jobs at all, or are the protests "their job"?
