And they are probably skimming off the top. Where is the transparency?

Occupy Wall Street teamed up with the Alliance For Global Justice, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit group, to receive tax-deductible donations. The Alliance for Global Justice (AGJ) is a Washington, D.C.-based charity that promotes opposition to free-market capitalism, particularly in Latin America, under the cover of engaging in “education on human, environmental and worker rights.” AGJ underwrites and publicizes the activities of revolutionary Marxist movements from Nicaragua to Mexico and trains young activists to work toward its distinctly radical conception of “economic justice.” In addition to its efforts to stoke revolution in other countries, AGJ also funds revolutionary groups within the United States. For instance, it is the main financial sponsor of World Can’t Wait, a direct-action movement affiliated with the Revolutionary Communist Party.

Do a reverse look up for the listed telephone number for donations on the NYC a page. There are 4 groups attached to that number, research them all. You will also see the address listed on the donate page also matches the address of the 4 groups.

I personally donate 10% of the profits from my business(EvilEmpireTees.webs.com) to OWS, hence cutting out the middle man and any skimming. I suggest others to do the same. Thank you for sharing this, Rob. By the way, most of my shirt designs were made specifically for OWS...
