As for Gates and Buffet, their principles are ironic as well as they have certainly taken advantage of a system that liberals loathe and seek to destroy. The only one who makes ridicuolous assumptions is you. And for the record, before you play your typical part of the victim, you once again are the one to take the first shot at me.

Er... no. They're protesting the Wall Street firms, which are not firms that actually make or build anything; they are merely firms that make gambles with other people's money on whether the perceived value of companies that do build and make things will rise or fall. There's nothing ironic at all in protesters using manufactured devices they purchased to tweet and photograph while protesting Wall Street's outsized influence on the USA. Now, if the protesters were calling their brokers while protesting, that'd be ironic.
