    Elitist democrats are now being targeted in their own neighborhoods.

    NYC is not just defunding the police, but also hospitals and schools.

    At the same time, many of the wealthy have left New York because of its punishingly high taxes.

    Americans in the past were OK with the rich back when the income disparity wasn't so out of line and we had a prosperous middle class. We even admired the rich. When things looked fair and the rich were not running DC and the non rich was represented in DC.

    Nothing will change until average workers hit the streets and threaten this form of capitalism that no longer works for them. As we saw in the 30s.

    The economic suffering will finally prompt this to happen again and another FDR type is elected who has the moral fortitude to take on the billionaires all 400 of them telling them...you can't have it all . And getting rid of the GOP legislation that corporations are not bound to max out profits by disemboweling america.

    Cancel your amazon prime, would be a good start. Repeat 70 million times.

    "They came first for the Nationalists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Nationalist. Then they came for the Christians, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Christian. Then they came for the Conservatives, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Conservative. Then they came for the Whites, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Racist. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

    This just came to me this morning. My take on an old poem. Prophetic. Feel free to share...

    So in other words, a nation wide CHOP/CHAZ.

    What a paradise that would be. Just picture it: homeless shanty camps as far as the eye can see, graffiti covering every square inch of property, community gardens on every corner built with 2 inches of potting soil producing food anyyyy day now (don't worry we can just demand 'the system' feed us until then, oh wait scratch that we'll have burnt 'the system down' guess we starve oh well), and of course, AND OF COURSE, roaming gangs of thugs instilled with the belief that their skin color gives them the absolute right to loot, attack, and/or murder the rest of us whenever they feel like it.

    Oh and lets not forget that the elite ruling class will still be there, still living luxuriously, well fed and well guarded, because at no point in the history of mankind has there ever been a marxist driven revolution powered by the plebeians that didn't ultimately end up creating and serving an elite ruling class of 1%ers.

    Now we know why they burn down their naighborhoods instead of the rich people's. If they try it might cost them their lives.

    America's original recipe has always been about equality of opportunity, NOT equality of outcomes.

    Democrat policies certainly have harmed the middle class, as well as the poor-reference California which is hemorrhaging the middle class, while it imports the third world to take their jobs.

    This isn't the 1930's, and another attempt to implement socialism isn't going to work.

    Why ask if you aren't going to use it?

    Wouldn't it be best to be informed prior to commenting?

    So the Fake Grassroots are carrying Fake Pitchforks?

    Figures!

    Cuomo is an unmitigated disaster, it's like his nipple clamps impede his thinking.

    You could copy and paste your source if it is going to be from a shady site like pagesix.

    LOVE it.

    I don't think there are any statues in the Hamptons that these mega-rich liberals can distract the protestors with, so they'll have to rely on their armed guards* to protect them if things get out of hand.

    *I assume these liberals are anti-2nd gun grabbers, and why not - they have little armies of private security.

    PageSix is the New York Post. Much less questionable than CNN or the Daily Beast or Media Matters.You are just deflecting and making excuses for missing the obvious link in the first post of yours.

    Concur, but of course FDR was an elitist and fascist, and elected to prevent a fair form of government which included basic human rights for all.

    Obama's home cost 15 million.

    Odd the protesters wouldn't go there.
