What If the Occupy Dallas (or Wall Street) Movement Targeted Homes of Dallas Billionaires?

The growing anti-extreme wealth or, specifically, anti-corporate greed movement Occupy Wall Street today targeted the homes of New York City’s wealthiest with about 500 protesters converging on Manhattan’s toney Upper East Side, marching past the homes of JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon, hedge fund manager John Paulson, media mogul Rupert Murdoch and David Koch, co-founder (or inherited) energy firm Koch Industries. The movement is spreading to college campuses and other cities, including Occupy Dallas which has about 100 people plus tents set up in Pioneer Plaza. I got to thinking today, what if Occupy Dallas decided to take a march down Park Lane in Old Preston Hollow and then move on up to Strait Lane? The New York City protesters at least have all the titans gathered in one place!
