A caravan of protesters — some wielding plastic pitchforks — descended on the Hamptons Wednesday to blast the rich and decry the nation’s rising income inequality.

More than 100 drivers and about 200 marchers paid a visit to the homes of some of the world’s wealthiest people, including ex-New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.

“Tax the rich, not the poor!” the protesters chanted outside Bloomberg’s $20 million Southhampton mansion, with some calling the failed presidential candidate a “looter.”

Excellent. Give the globalists/democrats a taste of their own medicine.

As elsewhere in the Americas, wealth and poverty are the true issues. Not race

All with identical professionally manufactured protest signs.

I wonder how that happened?

Anyone care to speculate how many private armed security people Bloomberg employs just for his personal protection and the protection of his estates. The wealthy, hypocritical liberals are very well protected.

> to blast the rich and decry the nation’s rising income inequality.

Another imaginary problem / baldfaced lie from a partisan media shill at the New York ComPost.

“Tax the rich, not the poor!”

Dear dumbasses, The do. Those making over $250,000 a year pay half the taxes. The bottom 47% of taxpayers already pay no taxes with a large part of them getting back more in their tax return than they paid in.

A ‘march’ on Soros place will be met by fully automatic response ...

Oh, wait, that is where they originate.

You guys are going to think I am crazy, but what if Trump addressed income inequality? And then blamed it on both crony capitalism and rent-seeking, and artificially cheap imported labor? Work with Peter Schweizer and Steve Bannon to craft a new message? A populism based not on resentment and class envy but on hard facts?

If he could transform the left/right divide into one between “elites” and the rest of us, he could blow the doors off this thing. It would be a realignment for the ages.

Funny thing about arson. Sometimes the fire reaches your own doorstep.
