Classist protesters resent feeding the poor

  Yesterday the kitchen staff at OWS (NYC) revolted; apparently they feel that they work hard and are not appreciated for what they do so they refused to cook the usual gourmet meals they've been serving. At the core of the problem are the convicts and homeless people who've been mooching off the efforts of the kitchen staff.
  Wait.
  People mooching off the efforts of others?
  The protesters resent moochers?
  Now that's the pot calling the kettle.
  The NY Post has the story:

Unhappiness with their unwelcome guests was apparent throughout the day.
“We need to limit the amount of food we’re putting out” to curb the influx of derelicts, said Rafael Moreno, a kitchen volunteer.

Many of those being fed “are professional homeless people. They know what they’re doing,” said the guard at the food-storage area. 
Today, a limited menu of sandwiches, chips and some hot food will be doled out -- so legitimate protesters will have a day to make arrangements for more upscale weekend meals. [SNIP]

Organizers took other steps to police the squatters, who they said were lured in from other parks with the promise of free meals.

“We’re not going to let some members of this community destroy the whole movement,” a volunteer said.
  So the protesters resent the poor homeless who "know what they're doing" by mooching and wanting to be fed. The protesters feel they are BETTER than the riff raff homeless? Isn't this the very classism they decry?
  Isn't the point of their movement that everyone's equal and no one should have any more than anyone else?
  I mean, they want OUR stuff but they don't want to give away THEIR stuff?
  So the protesters have become so accustomed to "upscale" gourmet food, much documented, that they need to make arrangements to keep supplementing their diets so they won't have to eat, um, pb & j like the rest of us?
  Through the mouths of the very protesters, the truth emerges.
  See, protesters, "we're not going to let some members of this community destroy the whole movement" of capitalism.
  Now maybe you know how we feel.
