Occupy Wall Street protesters plan 'Millionaires March' to the homes of the '1%'

The Occupy Wall Street protesters are planning to get in the face of some of New York's richest tycoons on Tuesday.

A "Millionaires March" will visit the homes - or, more realistically, the gleaming marble lobbies - of five of the city's wealthiest residents.

On the target list: NewsCorp CEO Rupert Murdoch, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, conservative billionaire David Koch, financier Howard Milstein and hedge fund mogul John Paulson.

Between 400 and 800 marchers plan to go to their homes to present them with oversize checks to dramatize how much less they will pay when New York State's 2% tax on millionaires expires at the end of the year.

"Ninety nine percent of the residents of New York are going to suffer from this tax giveaway so the 1% who already live in absolute luxury can put more money in their pockets," said Doug Forand, one of the march organizers.

"This is fiscally, economically and morally wrong."

The march kicks off at 12:30 p.m. at 59th Street and Fifth Avenue and heads to the Upper East Side.

I’m still not clear on what crime “the 1%” committed.

[scooby321]

No George Soros? George Kasier?

[ari-freedom]

maybe the millionaires will just leave NYC and then the punks will have to pay even more taxes just to keep the city running

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Nothing but the same old leftist/commie/pinko hacks.

Good. Show everyone who you are.

[RockinRight]

Why not Soros or Buffet?

[sappy]

1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

[Magic Fingers]

“No George Soros? George Kasier?”

And just for grins, no Donald Trump?

[cripplecreek]

I’m sure people in my neck of the woods would be fine having a few billionaires in the neighborhood.

We have rich and poor conservatives living side by side around here and things are nice and quiet.

[samtheman]

Leninism in action.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Apparently the “Crime” these people committed was actually earning a living and becoming successful..sometimes leftists are against

[Hotlanta Mike]

Great! Why not start in Bel Air/Beverly Hills???

[FlingWingFlyer]

Hypocrites. Why aren’t they “marching” to the homes of THEIR millionaires listed in the posts above? More commie lib hypocrisy.

[blondee123]

Why not Soros or Buffet? Cause it's OK for them to be RICH, they are funding this insanity! Remember, there is a double standard between the LEFT & RIGHT!

[laweeks]

I wonder how many of these jerks are really students and aren't unemployed, worthless hacks subsidized by Soros and that asshat in our White House.

By now, I would think they'd've missed a couple lectures and homework assignments.

[Track9]

Keep it up losers.. you’re the best advertisement for what’s wrong with this country.

[Yankee]

They are awfully @#&$ing brave in blue state cities where the citizens are unarmed because of gun control fanaticism.

I don’t see them pulling their crap where concealed carry is the law.

If they ever come for “their share” of my stuff they’ll be going back to their mommies in body bags.

[mark3681]

The “Flea-baggers” in the Flea Party. Just what the left ordered.

These vermin better watch themselves. I’m sure these “Millionaires” have some pretty good bodyguards.

You know, sooner or later these disease ridden, unwashed, brain dead bums are going to try violence, ala Arab Spring. When they do they are going to be extremely regretful. Most of them are too stoned or drunk to mount a decent offense. The rest are under a tarp in some park pokin’ somebody.

[tobyhill]

It's class warfare and the “1%” will win. All they have to do is send out the pink slips and live comfortable with what they already have.

[doorgunner69]

So is K F'n Kerry ond the ketchup woman on the list? Any of the Kenedy's?

No, I though not.............

[HerrBlucher]

They caused stupid lazy low lifes to envy them, that was their crime.

[therightliveswithus]

Liberal: the definition of hypocrite. Hypocrite: the definition of liberal

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Straight out of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

[Mr. K]

So when you stop stealing someone else’s money it’s a ‘giveaway’

[federal__reserve]

No, because both must be homeless :-)

[clee1]

Tell these losers that I’m in the 1%.... and invite them to come by my house.

The results will make international news. I guarantee it!

[blondee123]

Apparently none of these people work & are already collecting their pay from the RICH in federal hand-outs!

The reason socialism does not work, is eventually the rich run out of money to give to the government, but these lazy, welfare scammers don't GET IT!

[Yankee]

Keep it up losers.. you’re the best advertisement for what’s wrong with this country.

Yup, and morons Obama and Pelosi have already endorsed these turds.

I can see the campaign ads right now.

[doorgunner69]

So is J F'n Kerry and the ketchup woman on the list? Any of the Kennedy's? Algore?

No, I though not.............

[eens]

Felony stalking? Intimidation? Terrorism?

[tobyhill]

I'm not in the 1% but I appreciate the 1% when I get my paycheck.

[Libloather]

HOLLYWOOD!

[ExtremeUnction]

Great! Why not start in Bel Air/Beverly Hills???

Malibu comes to mind as well.

[Lazamataz]

Michael Moore. Nancy Pelosi. Harry Reid.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Note to self: From here on out, make sure your yearly taxable income is no more than $999,999.99.

That should be easy enough, LOL!

[manc]

CA lot march to Hollywood and then Pelosi North east lot march to the Wall street lot who gave money to zero, Duval Patrick Kerry, and all of the other Dems up there. They in FL need to march to Wassermann's house and then get off to Soros, Van Jones, Farrahkhan, Wright What they're not doing that, why that is so weird I thought they hated people with money . ARF

[Uncle Ike]

” I’m sure these “Millionaires” have some pretty good bodyguards. “

Back in the early 20th century, an outfit called The Pinkertons had some pretty effective tactics for dealing with this kind of carryings-on...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Storming the Theresa Heinz Kerry compound(s) and anyone on the board of The Tides Foundation?

*SMIRK*

[Las Vegas Ron]

Hmmmm.....

highest paid in hollywood 2011

[manc]

These idiots are protesting right now their biggest donors LOL.

Start at Hollywood, Soros, Buffet, Pelosi and zero’s house as he made 5 mil last year.

[Anima Mundi]

Kind of reminds me of Dr. Zhivago, where the people took up residence in the homes of the rich.

[abclily]

This is looking more and more like the early days of Hitler’s Germany!!! What is happening in our country??? Have we no honorable politicians left to speak up against this extortion?

[newzjunkey]

Their list is so transparent as to be invisible.

[Terry Mross]

This is the government’s plan. I always thought the government was wanting tea partiers to start something. Beck was warning against it. Now the liberal useful idiots are doing what they want them to do. All it will take is one idiot to throw a rock through someone’s window. Or some union plant in the crowd to fire a shot. The herd mentality kicks in and they take some millionaire’s maid hostage. Here come the troops! Otherwise, why are the communists like Pelosi and Reid supporting this? They plan on being the ruling elite.

The questions are: Will the military go along? Will the people in the heartland stand for it?

[dfwgator]

"Go ahead, make my day."

[Starboard]

“So is J F’n Kerry and the ketchup woman on the list? Any of the Kennedy’s? Algore?”

And how about the Hollywood types? The glitterati are loaded with money.

[Rocky]

Give them a map to Buffett’s home.

[SueRae]

Does that mean they’re marching to the Hamptons? Or Greenwich, Ct.?

[Terry Mross]

Then the perks will stop and they’ll be even more pissed off. hee hee
