1,200 Occupy Wall Street products on eBay

There are more than 1,200 Occupy-related products now on sale on eBay.

Isn’t capitalism grand? :D

I figure the products are being aimed at the young and dumb crowd that is watching this retro-protest safely from their homes in suburbia.

The products are mainly T-shirts.

But some posters and bumper stickers are available — as are campaign buttons.

Most popular are those V For Vendetta masks, which are also good for Halloween or any Guy Fawkes dance one might be invited to.

Dan Gainor, Vice President for the Media Research Center, discovered this cornucopia of capitalism on eBay.

From Dan Gainor: “Since Occupy Wall Street is costing millions in police overtime and hurting nearby businesses, it’s nice to know it is adding something to the economy. Do these count as saved or created jobs under Obama?”

The real question is whether any of these anti-capitalists taking the streets to support the government are paying sales taxes. They sure are not collecting them on eBay.

As James Taranto observed on Tuesday: “What’s their slogan going to be, ‘Smash the system — re-elect the president’?”

Now we know the answer: “’Smash the system — buy our T-shirts.”

Yeah, I'm pretty sure GWB made his stance on capitalism pretty evident. The shock in this is that there are not more items. Although, most of these items are probably anti-Bush, and therefore being vended by, what we can assume, are a bunch of anti-capitalists... so, yeah, how dare them.
