The organizer of the event swears it's not a joke.

    I really want to see this guy march alone with a single sign that says “Protect Billionaire Rights”

    Billionaires have it the worst. people are always going “you could do this for the world,” “you could feed children,” but nobody is asking why they’re stuck with a single 300ft yacht when they really want that 400ft yacht with two helicopter pads.

      If only! 😞

      Online conversation about Kauffman’s planned event has continued to alternate between incredulity and ridicule. “I can’t imagine billionaires marching in the street,” one social media user said, of the event.

      That person would probably be right.

      Kauffman told TC that, so far, he isn’t aware of any actual billionaires planning to attend the march that has been organized in their honor. Kauffman said that the event is likely to include “a few dozen attendees,” although he stressed that he really isn’t clear on how many people would show up.

        They can’t even show up to their own protest. F.

    Satirical image of the "Don't Tread On Me" logo. A boot with dog excrement is about to stomp on a snake, who is licking said excrement. A caption over the snake reads "No need to tread, for I will gladly lick the dog shit from your black leather oxford"

      This isn’t so much licking boots as deepthroating them up to the knee.

    We know billionaires aren’t going to do the work themselves. Finally we will get to see who these “paid protesters” are that I keep hearing about.

    How much can you hire a sniper for? Might be worth picking off the 4 guys who show up for this. Just a thought?

    Make copies of asset adjustment tax forms, make paper airplanes out of them and throw them as they walk by.
