The Daily Caller analyzed the arrest records of hundreds of Occupy Wall Street protesters and found that they live in rather opulent homes. Using arrest records, they determined that the media value home for those that included accurate addresses was $305,000, which Daily Caller compares against a $185,400 median U.S. value. I'd be interested in how it compares to NYC-area values, but the Daily Caller reports that the arrested came to Wall Street from all over the country.
Using online tools that show the home at a given address, they created a slide show of the "Opulent homes of the ’99 percent’)."
Here's one of the homes featured in that hilarious slideshow:

I'd happily take any of them.

I rather liked the $1.4 million house in Maryland. No justice, no peace!

Uh...I live in Brooklyn. I paid $300k for 500sq ft three years ago. 305k is not much around here.

Absolutely not. But check out the slideshow. Most of the houses are not in the New York area.

Well, you would assume that a majority of the NYC protesters are from NYC. But if the whole thing is Democrat plot, maybe not
Re: Are We Sure Occupiers Aren't the 1%?
The Daily Caller said protesters came from all over.
In any case, check this out from CNN:
So what are those positions? For that poll to make any sense, we'd all have to know what their positions are, right?
