Occupy Philly to Occupy GOP Majority Leader Eric Cantor

Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor will speak about economic inequality this Friday at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business, and the Occupy Wall Street movement will be there to protest, citing his opposition to the stimulus package, abortion rights, immigrant rights, and environmental protection.

As far as I can tell, this is not some Yes Men performance art, and the real-life Eric Cantor does plan to "talk about the various socioeconomic classes and how Washington should stop pushing different people down the economic ladder and instead can work together to ensure that all people have the ability move up."

Stop the class war, people, and start up your engines of inter-class loving: when's the last time you hugged a banker?

Already, 241 people have RSVPd on Occupy Philly's Facebook page. This could be a big one: marching from City Hall at 3 p.m.
