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.

Notice the MSM’s semantic use of Arab Spring & American Autumn.
Autumn rather than Fall?
Strange time for the resurrection of an Anglo-Saxon noun.
Orwellian ain’t it?
Thanks tobyhill.
Maybe this will teach some Limousine Liberals a lesson.
So Hussein, Bloomberg, and Immelt (as well as Chrissy Matthews and a plethora of media elites) will be harassed? Cool.
Steven Lerner’s plan all along. SEIU, ACORN, Obama and Rathke’s all over this.
Limousine liberal: “Why are you in my front yard? How did you get past my electrified gate? Don’t you people know I SUPPORT you in the struggle against the greedy rich? And where’s my armed bodyguard?”
They're advertising for protesters on Craig's List here in Seattle. The pay is $350-$650 per week.
While I don’t support the socialists, I fear that we are on the way to to having the opposite happen in this country that occured in Russia, unfortauntely our collapse will usher in a socialist enviroment that will see wealth stripped from those that earned it. All because there is so much rampant greed in this country. Corporations holding wages stagnant and filling their offers and their own pockets will increasing about of salary and stock options. Heck I’m even sick of the greed and I can’t believe there isn’t more outrage on the right for people acting more responsible with their money. I’m not for any state solutions to the “problem”, unfortunately the liberal are going to find their own solution which would make any Conservative cringe.
“Tax giveaway?” How do you “give” something to someone when it’s their’s to begin with?
Moonbat losers.
The greedy people are the protesters. They want other peoples money. If you don’t want to work for a “greedy corporation” start your own business.
Maximizing profit, that's their purpose and duty.
Just shut up and go balance your portfolio. Will ya!
Oprah and how about Roseanne
Obviously, this was an open threat because it's clear that these protesters are an Obama controlled mob who are being paid by Unions and ACORN affiliated community organizer groups using plundered Stimulus money.
Now we have a better idea why 20 million dollars in federal grant money from the Stimulus Funds to create “green jobs” in the weatherization industry were given to a Seattle community organizing groups focused on the environment and social justice. Only only three homes had been retrofitted and just 14 jobs were created (mostly administrative BTW).
Now we have a hint what those 20 million bucks were spent on. Would it be too cynical to suggest that these community organizing groups focused on the environment and social justice that were given the 20 mega bucks and never did any work with it are suddenly going to shift their focus from the “Being Green” side of the business and focus intently “social justice” side of the business by organizing the “Occupy Seattle” protest and paying the protesters using laundered Stimulus money intended for weatherization of homes and creation of "Good Green Jobs", of which this program created 14 at a cost of about $1.4 million per job.

BTW, some of these protesters are threatening to kill members of the "1%" they disapprove of so I am not too sure they should be allowed to march on the homes of private citizens .
I also do not think that it is a smart thing to do. These rich people have more than enough money to hire the ex - Iraqi private security contractors made redundant by Obama's premature and overly extensive withdrawal from Iraq.
This should provide them some valuable fill in work for these security contractors until they are needed back in Iraq to sort out the mess Obama is creating over there. Security is going to be a world wide growth industry thanks to the policies of this administration
Are they including Nancy Pelosi?
Guns sales should be going through the roof...
Perfect!
Do not forget to visit Representative Waxman when in the neighborhood.
“Release the Hounds!”
I was thinking the same thing. Hitler seized Jews and others wealth and families lost everything. I’m sure they basically mugged other races and religions too but the Jew was the primary target. Much like the mentality we’re seeing from the mobs protesting in various cities. It’s so easy to demonize a group and barely a step or two from that to massacring people.
Obama sits back and does nothing. By his actions- I think he wants it to go to the next level
This country is getting scary.
No more details yet and no verification that he was a demonstrator....however it sure sounds like it, doesn't it.
Also reporting a white guy with a molotov cocktail is being hunted by police in or around the Boston Occupation.
