"Blessed are the rich, for they shall not pay taxes."
http://cjonline.com/news/2013-07-10/left-wing-groups-protest-austerity-agendaA group of protesters Wednesday lined both sides of S.W. Topeka Boulevard at 24th Street outside the local offices of Americans for Prosperity.
A few protesters on the west side of the street unfurled a banner with one key revision to the libertarian organization's name. "Prosperity" was crossed out and "Austerity" took its place.

Protesters lining the street carried signs that ranged from traditional and broadly applicable ("You have the right to remain silent. But I'd recommend you don't"
to original and topical ("Blessed are the rich, for they shall not pay taxes" .
