On Saturday, there was a pro-billionaire march in San Francisco that drew a few five people.
Seriously, the March for Billionaires - yes, it actually was called that - had more reporters than participants. Even the San Francisco Chronicle counted only about 3 dozen marchers, and other sources say there were no more than 12.
Why was there an event like this in the first place? The entire point of it was to protest against a proposed referendum in California that would impose a onetime tax on billionaires. Marchers weren't deterred by the laughably low turnout and spouted typical right-wing bullshit when asked about their stance by reporters.
Organizers on Bluesky whined about how rough life is for billionaires. The event's page boo-hooed, "Billionaires get a bad rap. But most of them make our lives much better." The march featured a huge banner that said, "Billionaires build prosperity. Keep them in California!" Another sign said, "Billionaires build the future."
About the only person listening to these clowns is Gavin Newsom. Newsom says that if voters approve the referendum to enact a tax on billionaires, he will ignore the result and veto it.
