Anti-capitalism protest spokesman hawks for Fidelity Investments

Posted on October 10, 2011 at 10:46 am, by

One suspects that the Occupy Raleigh crowd didn’t consider the irony of an attendee at the anti-corporate greed gathering wearing a T-shirt that touts Fidelity Investments. Not only did he attend; he also discussed the group’s goals — or lack thereof — with WTVD.

Speaking to a reporter:

Front and center during the rally:

HT: Dallas Woodhouse, Americans for Prosperity North Carolina

  1. Fidelity Kid here. Very proud to see I’ve successfully trolled my first conservative think tank. For the record, I also facilitated at the General Assembly, and am actively participating in several working groups toward accomplishing those goals that we allegedly lack.

    You are just too funny.

    The irony of my shirt may have been lost on some in the crowd, but not me. You see…I was once a financial advisor. I held two NASD securities licenses and two NC insurance licenses, and sold financial plans for a living. Fidelity Investments GAVE me that free shirt in 2008 when I still worked there.

    Now I’m a happily employed member of the 99%. One of the last still hiring anybody, in fact.

    Cheers!
