" Occupy Wall Street protesters planned to march to the homes of five New York billionaires Tuesday to protest the expiration of the state’s millionaire’s tax.


Organizers are planning to protest at the homes of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, businessman David Koch, hedge fund manager John Paulson, real estate developer Howard Milstein and News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch, according to CNN Money. :applause:

The protesters plan to present oversize checks at each home to illustrate how much less the billionaires will pay after New York’s two percent tax on millionaires expires on Dec. 31. “While everyone else is struggling and being asked to make sacrifices to get through the economic downturn, these folks are actually being given more money to line their pockets,” Occupy Wall Street spokesman Doug Forand told the amNewYork newspaper. “They live in luxury — these folks don’t need a tax break.”



The demonstrators plan to leave their established zone of “occupation” at Zuccotti Park in Lower Manhattan and travel uptown to 59th street near Central Park, where they will start their march just after noon. The march is planned by groups associated with the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations - UnitedNY, the Strong Economy for All coalition, the Working Families Party and New York Communities for change.

2. Eh. They won't be home.

3. Whether they are home or not, media will definitely cover their targeted actions, signs & speeches.

[mod mom]

5. I am glad their faces are so recognizable. I hope they receive the wrath of the public

whenever they venture out. I hope they can not go out to dinner or the theater without incurring this wrath they brought on themselves. These assholes have ruined so many lives to further enrich themselves. They are a true cancer on this nation.

6. They don't have a choice. All eyes will be focused on their response, direct or indirectly, legal or

illegal if they choose that route.

4. There also should be a constant presence outside of

Faux News Headquarters as well. They have had a huge hand in destroying this country.

10. This is a Bad Idea

People are on the side of the protesters now. It's the House/Senate/President who can change the laws and make things more fair. That's the target, is it not?
Get the corruption out of government.
Protesting at these homes is not conducive to getting changes that we need the government to make. It will diminish the movement.

11. Too BAD "Ochs"!!! Wish the good one, Phil, was still around today!

He'd be awesome singing to the OWS crowds along with Peter Yarrow!

A new DVD out on the great Phil Ochs!
