 <title>Billionaires for Wealthcare Thank Teabaggers For Their Support</title>
 <link>http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2009093712/billionaires-wealthcare-thank-teabaggers-their-support</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;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&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Americans_for_Prosperity&quot;&gt; Americans for Prosperity&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionairesforwealthcare.com/wp/wp-content/gallery/september-12-2009-in-washington-dc/img_0853.jpg&quot;&gt;our gilded heroes&lt;/a&gt; headed off to greet the marchers with signs, chants and songs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3913322541_85f02d3ae3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3913322541_85f02d3ae3.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We set up our post on an elevated curb along Pennsylvania Avenue, proudly surveying the throngs we&#039;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As they passed we waved them on and serenaded them with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.billionairesforwealthcare.com/be-a-billionaire/&quot;&gt;our songs&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From our perch, your trusty billionaires we thanked our hardworking teabaggers, rallying the crowd with rousing chants like “Money is freedom!”, “&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=FreedomWorks&quot;&gt;Freedom Works&lt;/a&gt; – FOR US!, “You Protest – We Profit!” and the big crowd favorite, “Bring Back Bush!!!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3913322499_3734386632.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3913322499_3734386632.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2640/3914107736_42a031e416.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2640/3914107736_42a031e416.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The crowd embraced us with their exuberant chants and signs. Ayn Rand was a favorite theme, of which we naturally approved, but some were&lt;a href=&quot;http://images.huffingtonpost.com/gadgets/slideshows/2673/slide_2673_37542_large.jpg&quot;&gt; a bit unique&lt;/a&gt;. Regardless, we&#039;re proud of the teabaggers, and so thrilled that they came out like good soldiers. After all, nothing says freedom like denying claims. And besides, OUR death panels turn a profit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To close we popped some champagne, toasted our teabaggers and took our leave of the march.&lt;br /&gt;

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.&lt;/p&gt;
