Email: 'Time to kill the wealthy'

Email: 'Time to kill the wealthy' By: Tim Mak October 6, 2011 07:27 AM EDT

Several influential New York lawmakers have received threatening emails saying it is “time to kill the wealthy” if they don’t renew the state’s tax surcharge on the millionaires, according to reports.

“It’s time to tax the millionaires!” reads the email, according to WTEN in Albany. “If you don’t, I’m going to pay a visit with my carbine to one of those tech companies you are so proud of and shoot every spoiled Ivy League [expletive] I can find.”

Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos reportedly received the email, as did Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari. The governor’s office did not tell the New York Daily News whether the governor himself received the email.

The email, with the threatening subject line of, “time to kill the wealthy,” was detailed and disturbing.

“How hard is it for us to stake out one of the obvious access roads to some tech company, tail an employee home and toss a liquor bottle full of flaming gasoline through their nice picture window into their cute house,” wrote the author of the email.

The email references terminology that has been used in the “Occupy Wall Street” movement - that of 1 percent super-rich exploiting the remaining 99 percent of Americans. The angry message demanded that Albany politicians “stop shoveling wealth from the lower 99% into the top 1%” and “set aside your ‘no new taxes on anybody’ pledge.”

Well if any of the wealthy want a safe place I have a fine little town where they’re welcome. I’m Michigan poor and I’ll help protect them.

What did Bill Ayers -- Barack Hussein Obama's mentor -- say in his book, "Prairie Fire" (dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan, RFK's killer)? Mr Ayers said that about 75 million Americans would have to be killed under his society because they can't be re educated?

Killing the wealthy is always the path to greater freedom and a higher standard of living. Always.

Just look at France in 1789, Russia after 1917, China after 1949, etc.

The spoiled ivy leagers who are currently ‘protesting’ are so deluded, they give the term Useful Idiots new meaning.

When the PAID union thugs arrive shortly in their nice buses, with their gourmet lunches and good coffee (cookies too probably), if the protestors hold their signs, perhaps the union thugs will share their lunches with them.

Don’t tell these Useful Idiots that the union members all have well-paying jobs, houses, families, retirement and health insurance plans, and they do not intend to share any of their wealth with the idiots.

They are probably all getting bonuses as well as their regular pay, to show up and take advantage of the hard ‘work’ the protestors have been doing the last several weeks.

Exactly! I saw a photo this morning of normal people coming up from the subway to go their jobs on the dread Wall Street - the secretaries, the bosses, the brokers, the cleaning personnel, the food prep people and waitresses - walking past this sleepy-eyed and still sleeping, in some cases, mob of children covered with their expensive tattoos, wearing their expensive "alternative" hair styles and dye jobs, and holding up signs about their student loans! Now I understand that they are even demanding that people bring them food because they shouldn't have to pay for anything.

This is all inspired by the evil muslim obama!!!!

He doesn’t care about the unemployed and the poor. All he cares about is POWER!!!! That’s why he’s doing these things.

And the ueber-rich financial manipulators Soros and Al-Waleed are behind him!!

Yes, the union “protestors” are paid. Unions have a long tradition of hiring goons.

Is there a goons’ union?

They're already discussing their "right" to seize private property because "corporate America owns all the land".

No doubt whatsoever about that. What we are seeing is just an anemic replay of what occurred in the 60's. A bunch of bored, unhappy, immature, affluent white middle class college students (who don't even know what they are protesting about) who have been fired up by their Marxist professors trying to create mayhem.

Only difference is that this time there are only a few hundred. The legacy media is trying to blow this up into some big movement, but in reality, it's just a few disgruntled idiots and the unions who are funding them.

These kids define the term "useful idiots." EVerytime I hear one of them speak, I just roll my eyes and laugh at how ignorant they are.

You have a good handle on their strategy.
There is no way these leftists and minorities think they could actually take out a well armed majority of the country who are protecting their families and property,

without the assumption that the gov’t would have their back.

They have about 13 months to do get this going, maybe more, if the ‘rats do their “lame duck” dance like they did with so many other issues in 2010.

Bill ayers stated that those that don’t agree with them should be rounded up and put in re educated camps somewhere in the southwest like Arizona.
And he stated that the government will have to eliminate about 10% of the population that will not get in line with their form of communism. Paraphrased here, but the message is the same. This was easily found WAY before obama slithered into the white house, but his media chose to keep all this concealed.

This was obama’s mentor and teacher.

Ahhh, coming off as planned... but planned by whom, is the question... The Agitator in Chief, who else. Of course, TAC has lots of help, Van Jones, Labor Bosses, Obamabots, idiot democrats who agree to go along with this for party sake... I predict about another week and mayhem will break out, and it will likely cost someone their blood. This whole thing is like a child throwing a tantrum, the type of child who decides that if he doesn’t get his way, he’ll dash his head into the edge of the coffee table thinking, “then they’ll be sorry”... No, we won’t! Go ahead, challenge the police with the baton, for for it...

obama is facing a serious loss in the next election.
His base is getting restless.
His base is full of committed marxists.
obama has shown that he will ignore the Constitution.
The unions who back obama are no strangers to violence.
baraq is not condemning any union violence.
He is stoking up the class warfare game.
He needs a chaotic situation.
Rahm let the cat out of the bag, “never let a crisis go to waste.”
baraq’s only real experience is community agitating. He is agitating his community.
These “protests” are well coordinated and organized.
If there is enough damage/chaos, he will have to use federal power to restore order. His kind of order.
The NC governor let another cat out. Suspending elections.

The dims threw away any loyalty to our country long ago. Now they are acting on that.

Dear Leader absolutely OWNS this crowd. In my opinion he has been wanting a riot from day one, he really needs it now in order to call Marshall law.

He is out there campaigning about the job creating rich paying more taxes, and how he is trying to create jobs, isn't that an oxymoron idea? He wants a riot, he is the instigator of it.

I heard yesterday, that some people living in NY are opening their homes to this SCUM, to allow them to take a bath and eat. Shame on those people.

First it’s the 1%-ers. Eventually, it’ll be anyone who has “more” than them.

100% correct. It always starts with a small minority group (e.g. the 'very' rich, the 'too' elite, the 'over' educated), then before long it moves to those who have a working tractor, those who can run a business, those who are teaching sciences/subjects that run contrary to social belief. Before long you have real progroms where any one thought to be some sort of threat (e.g. they know how to operate a ham radio) suddenly starts to disappear. As another FReeper mentioned some posts above, it is easy to see the progression in France, Russia and China (at different times, but with very similar effects). There will always be an overhang of the poor to the rich, the not-as-educated to the very-well-educated, the workers to the owners; and the issue is that even with 'redistribution' this will always be the case (until we get Star Trek replicator technology, whereby if one wants to get a meal, or a 60 year old bottle of wine, or a vintage Lamborghini Miura, or fuel to fill up your modern Ferrari 458 ...all you need is press a button and voila you have the product) ...until we get Star Trek replicator technology for the masses, there will always be an overhang of the poor to the rich - even with redistribution. The only change is that instead of someone trying to 'share' my Mercedes 2-seater Sportscar (that I love to tear up and down Nairobi's roads) they will be trying to 'share' the other person's old beat-up bicycle and 'share' their seed-corn for next year's harvest.

Does he think somehow he will be the beneficiary?
