Russell Simmons: I will bring hundreds of thousands to 'Occupy Wall Street'

Hip hop magnate Russell Simmons said Thursday on MSNBC that he planned on joining the ongoing "Occupy Wall Street" in lower Manhattan.

Simmons, who has an estimated net-worth of $340 million, noted that all his employees paid more taxes than he did.

"Last time I got involved in a protest I brought a hundred thousand people there, for the Rockefeller Drug Laws," he said. "And if I get involved really heavily in this one, we find the agenda and have a common ground... we can bring hundreds of thousands of people... small seeds are planted, but it could grow into something very big."

Martin Bashir is a world class ass kisser. I like how Simmons pretends that Obama is somehow exempt from being part of a "Wall St Government". Listen how testy he gets when its brought up how much money he has made. He is part of the same hypocrisy. I think hes only pretending to be a part of this for his own benefit.
