Should You Wear a $355 Shirt to Occupy Wall Street?

The Occupy protests started in New York and have now spread to a number of cities, including D.C. The racial diversity of the protests have been called into question, but what about the income diversity? Is it in poor taste for someone like, say, Kanye West, to show up to a protest against corporate interests and capitalism while wearing a $355 Givenchy shirt? Or is he just being authentic and showing class solidarity?

    The occupy movement should not be class warfare. There are rich people who believe that the system needs to be changed in favor of the 99% as well. This shouldnt be compared to a socialist movement where all rich people should give up their possessions and share with the masses. Kanye West isnt a financial institution or a multibillion dollar corporation. Thats what the occupy movement is about.
