Email: 'Time to kill the wealthy'
Politico, by Tim Mak

Several influential New York state lawmakers have received threatening mails saying it is “time to kill the wealthy” if they don’t renew the state’s tax surcharge on millionaires, according to reports.

“It’s time to tax the millionaires!” reads the email, according to WTEN in Albany. “If you don’t, I’m going to pay a visit with my carbine to one of those tech companies you are so proud of and shoot every spoiled Ivy League [expletive] I can find.”

State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos reportedly received the email, as did State Assembly Majority Leader Ron Canestrari. The governor’s office did not tell the New York Daily News whether the governor received the email.

The email, with the threatening subject line of, “time to kill the wealthy,” was detailed and disturbing.

“How hard is it for us to stake out one of the obvious access roads to some tech company, tail an employee home and toss a liquor bottle full of flaming gasoline through their nice picture window into their cute house,” wrote the author of the email.

Alec Baldwin Fund Tied to Wall Street, Big Oil
American Spectator, by Jeffrey Lord

Actor partners with Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Exxon, and a charity that urges evading capital gains tax.

Well now.

Isn't this rich?

Morgan Stanley, the legendary Wall Street investment banking company founded by J.P. Morgan that took $10 billion in federal bailout funds back in 2008 during the financial crisis, is a "Corporate Partner" providing funding to the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. Named for and listing as chairwoman actor Alec Baldwin's breast cancer survivor mother.

With Alec Baldwin himself serving on the Fund's "Advisory Board."

Merrill Lynch, owned by the Bank of America, is also a "Corporate Partner" with the Baldwins, the company famously teetering on the edge in the 2008 crisis and being purchased by BOA. It was eventually revealed that Merrill Lynch used some $3.6 billion to pay out in "bonuses" -- approximately a third of the amount received in federal TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program).

Exxon Mobile has pitched in as well. The very emblem of Big Oil, Exxon Mobile is another "Corporate Partner" funding the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund.

That's right.

Alec Baldwin is a board member of a family charitable fund which partners with and takes money from a veritable who's who of that famous trifecta of liberal enemies: Wall Street, Big Oil and Corporations.

This would be the same Alec Baldwin who wrote this scathing piece over at the Huffington Post back in the fall of 2008 titled "To Hell With Wall Street"

Rep. Jesse Jackson Calls on
Government to Hire All Unemployed
Americans for $40,000 Each
Fox News


Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has offered his own $804 billion jobs plan that calls on the federal government to hire the nation’s 15 million unemployed Americans for jobs paying roughly $40,000 each, and bail out all the states and cities facing budget crises.

In an interview with the Daily Caller on Wednesday, the Illinois Democrat applauded President Obama for directing his staff to greenlight job-creating initiatives without congressional approval after his $447 billion jobs bill was defeated in the Senate this week.

“Now we’re making some progress,” Jackson said, comparing the legislative gridlock in Congress to the states that seceded from the union during the Civil War.
