Billionaires Surrounded: Loud Jobless Hordes Infest New York
The greatest, which is to say the richest, city in the world has already been flooded with hordes of so-called protesters in anticipation of this week's Republican National Convention. These unwashed yet extremely vocal mobs have already been taking to the streets, demonstrating and taking any opportunity to try and get their mewling little voices heard by people rich and powerful enough to count. These people have been absolutely shameless in deriding and attacking our wonderfully well-heeled President, and their unpatriotic and bargain-basement sentiments promise to grow ever louder as the week progresses. Of course, most of them are poor, and as such must resort to cheap, tacky means of expressing themselves, like banners, puppets, and playing inexpensively manufactured guitars at passersby.
As befits his stature as one of our most honored lackies, Mayor Bloomberg has kindly agreed to severely restrict these uncouth gatherings so that we in the priviliged minority need hardly sully ourselves in contact with them. Nevertheless, in order to show them the error of their ways, we billionaires will be taking every opportunity we can to show them how misguided they are, how much we love our President, and just how much the NYPD enjoys using those tasers.
