Smartest “protest poster/political+economics-op-ed” I’ve seen in some time (even if he wasn’t sandwiched between 2 suits, and also situated like the church caller).(photo: Emmanuel Dunand/AFP caption: A participant in the Occupy Wall Street demonstrates as finance workers try to get to work around Wall Street, in New York, September 19, 2011. Hundreds of demonstrators took to the street to protest against the US capitalist system.)
