Occupy Wall Street... mansions
http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/10/news/economy/occupy_wall_street_protest/

Occupy Wall Street is on the move ... uptown.

(snip)
Organizers are planning a march on Tuesday that will visit the homes of JP Morgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, hedge fund honcho John Paulson, Howard Milstein, and News Corp (NWSA, Fortune 500) CEO Rupert Murdoch.

The millionaires and billionaires are being targeted for what event organizers called a "willingness to hoard wealth at the expense of the 99%."

(snip)
Tuesday's march -- organized by UnitedNY, the Strong Economy for All Coalition, the Working Families Party and New York Communities for Change -- will cover quite a bit of ground if successful.

3. Trick or treat?!!!!

Never mind. We already know the answer to that one.

Wow, now we're talking. Literally eliminating facades and meeting them where they live.

I'm guessing these head honchos will be thinking this is getting way too close to home for comfort.

11. Why are they skipping the George Soros mansion in NY?
This is the $9.8M property of the financial speculator, stock investor George Soros-
Geez, get a load of THIS place - nice spread

12. Actually, it doesn't look nearly as large as some of the local mansions.
Here's River Oaks, where the wealthy live in Houston:

Zoom in, take a look around. I see some spreads much larger than Soros'. They could use a little protesting, too :)
