(115,809 posts)If there are 200,000 protesters, as expected, that would be $400,000,000.00. Who's footing the bill?
But that's only the D.C. protest. Are the thousands who are gathering elsewhere in the country (and the world) also getting paid?

(4,483 posts)the job of protester is permanent, with great pay and benefits:
The job offers a monthly retainer of $2,500 plus our standard per-event pay of $50/hr, as long as you participate in at least 6 events a year, as well as health, vision and dental insurance for full-time operatives.

And it would be more difficult for him to manage sex weekends in the Dominican Republic.

It'll be interesting to see how many of the same people show up at all three of his ballings balls. (oops) Perhaps their union counteroffered a 3-for-the-price-of-2 deal.

(1,204 posts)It's free to post in the gigs section on craiglist. These people are stupid enough to believe that if someone was paying protesters that they would advertise it on a public site? I don't know if these people legit lack common sense, or if they are purposely ignoring their common sense for petty politics.
