NEW YORK CITY (BHN) - Neatly coinciding with President Obama's proposed tax increase on the wealthy, thousands of Democrats descended upon New York City's financial district Monday morning to protest anyone earning more than they are - which in most cases would be welfare.
Several social networking sites called for the occupation of Wall Street for "as long as it takes" to erase man's desire to make money. Presumably, the congregating of thousands of angry, stoned slackers will make Wall Street workers feel guilty for their success, prompting them to give their money and belongings to the protesters.
"CEOs, the biggest corporations and the wealthy are taking too much from our country, and I think it's time for us to take back," said one protester."Hey, could I bum a cigarette and some change?"
One immediate positive result of the "Day of Rage" was an overwhelming sense of relief from the thousands of parents who are regaining their basements for the duration of the protest.
My comments: Those evil, rich b*stards! Maybe if they had less money, they'd give more to the rest of us! Wait, no, I mean maybe if they had less money, they'd give us more jobs! Damn, that doesn't work either. They just need less money, that's all.
