So my suggestion for the protesters - Occupy Uranus.
Posted on 10/10/2011 6:31:43 PM PDT by Borough Park
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.

It should be awesome to see these people protest Obama donors living areas.
I think they’re only going after conservatives....
SEIU’s Stephen Lerner Leaks Plan to Terrorize Corporate Executives Using ‘Occupy Wall Street’
May this movement swell and swell and grow more and more lawless, unwashed, and ultimately violent.
Over time, this is going to be backfire like Anthony Weiner’s groin shots, except it will reflect on an entire party.
And I hesitate to use the word “backfire”, it’s more like frontfire, but it’s not really very fiery so....oh, never mind.
So my suggestion for the protesters - Occupy Uranus.
Trespassing on PRIVATE property has it’s consequences.
The irony is so thick, it's oppressive, isn't it?
When Obama was here a couple of weeks ago, they closed Park Avenue -- 4 lanes with a grass median -- as his entourage motorcaded up both sides. Large dump trucks filled with sand served as blast-blockers...symbolic ones, at least. NYPD's nastiest were prowling the sidestreets with dogs. Sidewalks on Park and the sidestreets were barricaded (from early that morning). A hapless resident was detoured several blocks in three directions if he needed to cross Park. All because he was having a fundraiser in the neighborhood of Park and 75th.
I wonder what he's telling them?
It's so fitting. He is going to be so dissed. I'll bet when he walks into the room after this, everyone will look the other way.
I will never understand why the rich would be so stupid to give zero money in the first place.
What on earth are they thinking???
many of them are very trusting.
What on earth are they thinking???
The same reason they gave another Chicagoan named Capone money.
What a crock of baloney. Most X-illionaires don’t stuff their income in a mattress, idling it — they use it for various things, what we call investing. Which produces more jobs and more wealth both for the exalted and for the humble. We could complain about banks sitting on cash, but Wall Street isn’t just banks or even mostly banks.
Oh goody! Gonna be some dead hippies soon. Millionaires and the like have private armed security around them 24/7. This should be fun. So Borough Park, hows things in Brooklyn today?
Any idea when they will be picketting Soros’s home? Oh, I forgot. He’s the one who hired them off of Craig’s List.
And I assume they will also protests at the homes or apartments of millionaires like Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, barack obama, Barbara Walters...and every other leftist Hollywood actor. Now...how about Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriquez, and all the other pro baseball, basketball and football players who make over a million dollars a year.
Man oh man, I hope they have reinforcements coming in cause they are going to be spread thin with all the millionaires in the New York area.
Many of them are sitting on inherited money, went to liberal boarding schools and feel guilty they have so much. Being kind to the unwashed downtrodden makes them feel better and less guilty.
Duuudes: take it to the MSM news just down the road, you know, your owners, the ones who ordered the pizzas.
The biggest prolem with the OWS morons is that they don’t realize the people they are actually protesting are Obama and his whole administration.
Thanks to government brainwashing, they have the right cause, but the wrong target. They should be protesting Dear Leader & Co.
So the picture I get is they inherited the money and are protected by those who manage their affairs for them. Is this correct? Are their lives so soft that they've not had to activate their instinct for survival?
I'm thinking of Bunny Mellon, for one.
How about George Soros home?I’m sure he lives in some secret location with a 20 mile perimeter with security goons armed to the teeth with orders to shoot to kill.Of course his security is taxpayer funded by an executive order by you know who.
