99%-ers' Paradoxical Dream-States

This photo (spotted here) intrigues me.



Lots of dichotomy; the healthy and well-fed '99%-er' with the protest sign looks askance at the unhealthy homeless individual sleeping on a bench. What could be running through her mind? Does she look at this person, and see herself, maybe just a matter of time until she asks him to scoot over?

Is Wall Street at fault for the plights we see (and she envisions) here?

I wonder if she has a flat-screen TV, a cell phones, a Lexus, a warm bed.

Seems just a bit unfair to me, that she would be protesting her possible future fate (whatever that fate is or she imagines it will soon be) while glancing at a man whose fate seems sealed.

I'm more interested in what he's dreaming than what she's emoting, no matter what reasons for protesting Wall Street she gives.

(Note the drain pipe point at the head of the sleeping man. He's been pissed on before, I'll warrant.)

(Oh, and what the hell is that other kid doing bent over backwards on that concrete abutment? That's a stretch I'd not like to make.)
Thanks to pdbuttons for the caption.
