Occupy Wall Street protesters plan 'Millionaires March' to the homes of the '1%'
NY Daily News ^ | 10/10/2011 | BY Helen Kennedy

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

” 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...
