Protesters are targeting the Hamptons as part of a Labor Day weekend action against billionaires

A small group of protesters walked into the iconic American Hotel's restaurant in Sag Harbor this weekend to convey a message they filmed for the world to see: "Tax the rich."

Sag Harbor is a village in East Hampton that has long been a premier destination for the wealthy. Labor Day weekend is one of the busiest times of year for the otherwise sleepy enclave.

"You're all here in the Hamptons enjoying $200 caviar as though your money isn't funding an actual fascist regime!" one protester bellowed into a crowd of diners, according to a video posted on X by Planet Over Profit, a climate advocacy group.

I’d say like 99% of Hampton billionaires are far leftists...

Billionaires is a term for Trump and Musk, not Soros or Gates. Like most of their tantrums, the reasoning is very suspect.

They should also target Martha’s Vineyard and bring some illegal alien invaders to live there.

Anyone flaunting their wealth these days is a numbskull.

“A small group of protesters...”

Isn’t amazing and pathetic how two or three ratty communists manage to get national attention?

Our side could have a thousand in the streets and not a peep.

Maybe it’s a sign they’re starting to get hard up for money?

Exactly. I don’t know where these idiots get off thinking the government would do a better job. The government has no incentive, it doesn’t look to profit from investment, all it does is spend and steal through corruption like Obamas Solyndra scam. What are they teaching these kids in school? Where do they get off thinking the government is this infallible Holy institution? If it took money from billionaires, took money away from investment, where do they think it would end up? It would be burned!

I wouldn’t trust any billionaire fund manager who eats caviar. Yech. That stuff is gross.

A billionaire has never stolen anything from me and I have never gotten a job from a poor person. Government bureaucrats steal from us all daily and are employed by poor people to redistribute all our money.

Caviar tastes better with deviled eggs on a cracker.

That is your “billionaire” tip for the day.

Lol.


Funny story—one of my grandmothers loved caviar and my grandparents traveled to Russia to stock up on the high end stuff at one point. Everytime we visited her it was served—for months.

Caviar on a spoon is all you need.

Boss from years ago had been to climb up to the first couple of camps of Mt Everest. He was going through Tehran coming back to the US when the Shah lost the throne. Said folks were at the airport with a lot of their possessions, covered in diamonds and fur and eating caviar by the bucketfull.
