    LA Times article

    SAN FRANCISCO — As California struggles with homelessness and healthcare cuts, some activists are taking on an unexpected cause: fighting for billionaires.

    About a dozen people took part in the “March for Billionaires” on Saturday morning in San Francisco to raise awareness about the plight of the ultrarich. Although some assumed the event was satire, organizer Derik Kauffman said it was a sincere protest against a potential new tax on the state’s wealthiest residents.

    And 10-20 to people showed up to actually protest.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

          I mis-read the comment and thought it was “protest them”.

          Though it’d be fun to hold a mock “March For Billionaires” and dress as your favorite oligarch.

      What psychopath would try to lure pure, innocent and very important billionaires in the warzone that is California? Don’t they know we would be lost without their genius and greatness?..

      Could be at the same place, same time!

      Most likely the participants will be poor astroturfers sent on behalf of the billiodogs.
