Representative Barney Frank May Sympathize with "Occupy Wall Street" Protesters, but He Loves Wall Street Cash

Even though Representative Barney Frank sympathizes with the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters and the movement, it does not stop him from picking up some cash to fill his reelection coffers.

Representative Frank is not going to New York to stand with the protesters. He is going there to attend a fundraiser hosted at the home of Charles Myers, a senior investment banking advisor at Evercore Partners. Representative Frank is looking to get $2,500 out of each of the invitees to the fundraiser.

If you remember, Frank blamed Wall Street and the financial industry in general for the problems in the American economy.

Additionally, Senator Harry Reid was in New York for a fundraiser last month.
