They called this “Millionaires March”. They marched two by two up the sidewalk, planning to pass the homes of some of New York City’s wealthiest people. They said they didn’t have a permit and didn’t want to lead the traffic jam. “No Billionaire Left Behind,” said on a card that was written by Arlene Geiger, who teaches economics at Manhattan’s John Hay College of Criminal Justice. New York’s 2 percent “millionaires’ tax” will last till this December. Protesters expressed they cared about how much less the wealthy would pay and who would get less money then. Protesters have been camped out for weeks in lower Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, near Wall Street. They say they’re fighting for the “99 percent” of Americans who do not fall into the wealthiest 1 percent of population. Their causes range from bringing down Wall Street to fighting global warning. The movement gained traction through social media, and has taken place in several other cities. In Boston, hundreds of college students marched through downtown Boston on Monday and gathered on Boston Common, holding signs that read “Fund education, not corporations”. The protesters were angry with the education system. They said it was like “irresponsible, unaccountable, and unethical (不道德的) financial practices” of Wall Street. And now, a lot more movements have taken places in some European countries. 1. What do you think of the “Millionaires March” in the passage? A. It’s a name of the computer game. B.
