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.

I’m still not clear on what crime “the 1%” committed.
No George Soros? George Kasier?
maybe the millionaires will just leave NYC and then the punks will have to pay even more taxes just to keep the city running
Nothing but the same old leftist/commie/pinko hacks.
Good. Show everyone who you are.
Why not Soros or Buffet?
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“No George Soros? George Kasier?”
And just for grins, no Donald Trump?
I’m sure people in my neck of the woods would be fine having a few billionaires in the neighborhood.
We have rich and poor conservatives living side by side around here and things are nice and quiet.
Leninism in action.
Apparently the “Crime” these people committed was actually earning a living and becoming successful..sometimes leftists are against
Great! Why not start in Bel Air/Beverly Hills???
Hypocrites. Why aren’t they “marching” to the homes of THEIR millionaires listed in the posts above? More commie lib hypocrisy.
By now, I would think they'd've missed a couple lectures and homework assignments.
Keep it up losers.. you’re the best advertisement for what’s wrong with this country.
They are awfully @#&$ing brave in blue state cities where the citizens are unarmed because of gun control fanaticism.
I don’t see them pulling their crap where concealed carry is the law.
If they ever come for “their share” of my stuff they’ll be going back to their mommies in body bags.
The “Flea-baggers” in the Flea Party. Just what the left ordered.
These vermin better watch themselves. I’m sure these “Millionaires” have some pretty good bodyguards.
You know, sooner or later these disease ridden, unwashed, brain dead bums are going to try violence, ala Arab Spring. When they do they are going to be extremely regretful. Most of them are too stoned or drunk to mount a decent offense. The rest are under a tarp in some park pokin’ somebody.
No, I though not.............
