"Go ahead, make my day."

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.

Kind of reminds me of Dr. Zhivago, where the people took up residence in the homes of the rich.
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?
Their list is so transparent as to be invisible.

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?
"Go ahead, make my day."
“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.
Give them a map to Buffett’s home.
Does that mean they’re marching to the Hamptons? Or Greenwich, Ct.?
Then the perks will stop and they’ll be even more pissed off. hee hee
Exactly my thought.
"If this is what you want more of.. vote DemocRAT.."
This is all about provocation. This is going to go horribly wrong. These millionaires and billionaires should be armed to the teeth.
I discuss the three proxy armies of the current progressive civil war - anarchists, unionists and illegal aliens in my book “Surviving Civil War II” http://www.futurnamics.com/civilwar.php
The welfare state/ancien regime can’t count on the military to support them, so must resort to a proxy army.
I am so surprised by this news, I am beside myself with surprisement.
Hope they stop by Michael Moore’s house, Alex Baldwin, the Sheens’,... hell...the need to invade all of hollyweird for that matter. And don’t forget to stop by uncle George’s (Soros) house and DaddywarbucksBuffet’s place. They all wanna donate.
Exactly. And what truly, will violence solve?
It is the Progressives end game.... All I can do is hunker down, keep my family safe and PRAY! God is STILL in control.
The OWieS are a bunch of leeches. They live in a country where the “poor” are obese, have cell phones and, somehow, can spend their lives partying for weeks at a time in the center of our largest city.
No matter how much they take it will never be enough.
These slime are going to deliver the gop a massive victory next year.
