 Billionaires thank teabaggers for their support

| September 12, 2009 | 

It was a lovely day in DC as the Billionaires for Wealthcare gathered to survey our investments. After a few of our beautiful heiresses took proper tea at the Ladies Tea Party held by American for Prosperity, our gilded heroes headed off to greet the marchers with signs, chants and songs.

We set up our post on an elevated curb along Pennsylvania Avenue, proudly surveying the throngs we’d funded.  The crowds mainly greeted us with cheers for the status quo. A few seemed confused; they were clearly in awe to be face-to-face with those who profit from their most manipulated fears.

As they passed we waved them on and serenaded them with our songs. 

From our perch, your trusty billionaires thanked our hardworking teabaggers, rallying the crowd with rousing chants like “Money is freedom!”, "Freedom Works – FOR US!, “You Protest – We Profit!” and the big crowd favorite, “Bring Back Bush!!!”

From there we decamped and headed into the crowds toward the Capitol to mingle with those working so hard to ensure our right to raise rates and deny claims.

The crowd embraced us with their exuberant chants and signs.  Ayn Rand was a favorite theme, of which we naturally approved, but some were a big unique.  Regardless, we’re proud of the teabaggers, and thrilled that they came out like good soldiers.  After all, nothing says freedom like denying claims.  And besides, OUR death panels turn a profit.

To close we popped some champagne, toasted our teabaggers and took our leave of the march.

Back in the limo, we enjoyed the last of our caviar and, as a final touch, sent a huge flower arrangement to the luxury suite of our most loyal foot soldier, Glenn Beck, and headed home.

Until the next rally, we remain yours in obscene wealth and the status quo – Billionaires for Wealthcare. 

We have conquered Washington, DC!

ah you all, thanks for coming by and leaving such nice comments for a cut and past jobber. you are right Sirenita I know they must love Ayn Rand!, :)

Janie, about the banner, you have mentioned it before a while back, it is kaleidoscopes and a simple function on my Canon camera software.
Great Post! It takes guts to wade in among the 'truthiness' of a crowd like this and sarcastically refute them. At the line "A few seemed confused', I was wondering; were there people who didn't get the joke and cheered them on? I just couldn't shake the thought.

In the theme of 'I've got mine and up yours."
There's the post"Granny wants you DEAD!"
This is clever, I like it.
This is hilarious! I love it! Thanks.
(Better late than never.)
