$1.6 billion worth of stars support Occupy Wall Street
Charleston (WV) Daily Mail ^ | October 13, 2011 | Don Surber

Occupy Wall Street has drawn very public support from celebrities who are worth millions of dollars. The top 20 Stars for Occupy Wall Street have a combined net worth of $1,685,500,000, by my count, or as Warren “Tax Me More” Buffett likes to call it, 3% of my personal wealth. The disconnect between the personal wealth of these millionaires and their statements of standing with the “99%” is amusing. Consider Alec Baldwin, who protested filthy rich bankers after accepting millions for his commercial endorsement of Capital One Bank.

If I was a rich, commie lib “celebrity”, I’d be out there saying that I support these dummies too! Money isn’t any good if they remove your head from your shoulders. These crazy bass turds are talking about beheading “the rich”.

Then there’s a simple solution to our problems. Charge the celebs admission... $50 million per head. Those with really big heads like Obama must pay $100 million.

I thought there was already a provision for giving more money to the IRS. Can’t you just write a check to the National Treasury and put “donation” on the memo line?

The democrat party is no doubt heavily invested, too, as evidenced at the Occupy Arkansas in Little Rock information. Read this thread for info.

EACH one of those stars has team of Century City tax lawyers working day and night to make sure they pay less than the Bush rates.
