New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has criticised the Occupy Wall Street protesters for unfairly blaming 'hard-working' people for problems facing the U.S.
Around 1,000 protesters tried to confront some of New York's wealthiest tycoons yesterday afternoon as they held a 'Millionaires March' in Manhattan to the homes of five top businessmen.
But Mayor Bloomberg fumed: 'I don't appreciate the bashing of all the hard working people who live and work here and pay the taxes that support our city.'

The protesters marched to the houses of Rupert Murdoch, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, billionaire David Koch, financier Howard Milstein and hedge fund mogul John Paulson.
But Mayor Bloomberg gave his backing to Mr Dimon, saying he is an 'honourable person' who pays taxes and has 'brought more business to this city than maybe any other banker in the modern day'.
Protesters are today expected to protest outside the headquarters of JP Morgan Chase in New York.

During the march protesters were bearing oversized cheques in an attempt to symbolise how much less the wealthy will pay when New York's two per cent ‘millionaires' tax’ expires at the end of the year.
‘99 per cent of the residents of New York are going to suffer from this tax giveaway so the one per cent who already live in absolute luxury can put more money in their pockets,’ one organiser said.

'A lot of these Republicans are basically saying: ‘You know what? Let’s go back to the same policies that led to the great recession in the first place",' he told ABC.
‘This is fiscally, economically and morally wrong,’ Doug Forand told the New York Daily News.
It comes as Barack Obama's senior adviser David Plouffe confirmed that the President is on the side of the Occupy Wall Street protesters - and said the Republicans are not.

News Corp CEO Mr Murdoch, who has been engulfed in the phone-hacking scandal over the last few months, is worth $7.4billion - but that is overshadowed by David Koch, who comes in at $25billion.
Earlier this month Berkshire Hathaway chairman Warren Buffett - who is worth $39billion but is not being targeted on the march - said he would release his tax return if Mr Murdoch did so as well.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is worried the rich will leave the area if the tax is renewed, despite calls from fellow Democrats to keep it going as it generates up to $5billion annually.

Organiser Doug Forand

The march started near Central Park on 59th Street and headed north at around 12:30pm yesterday.
A spokesman for Occupy Wall Street told MailOnline earlier that the protesters would leave their camp at Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan on Tuesday morning and travel on the subway to begin.
Around 1,000 protesters had gathered by Central Park just after midday and began the march up Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, with onlookers watching what was happening from their balconies.

Demonstrators held banners saying 'Millionaires should pay their share' and 'Tax the rich', while crowds chanted and sang as drums were played. There was also a big trade union presence.
No arrests or public disorder have been reported on the route, but onlookers said police had to keep protesters on the pavement outside Mr Dimon's house after his awning was closed off.

Many banners included in protests around the U.S. read: ‘We are the 99 per cent’.
This is referring to what they say are the vast number of Americans struggling to pay their bills while the income gap between the rich and middle class widens.

OCCUPY ATLANTA: GROUP VOWS TO STAY IN DOWNTOWN GEORGIA PARK

Demonstrators camping in a downtown Atlanta park as an outgrowth of Occupy Wall Street in New York vow to stay despite city warnings they have to go.

The group Occupy Atlanta said in a statement this week that they've met with city officials and were told that police will enforce Atlanta's ordinances against camping and being in the park overnight. There were no reports of any arrests during a sit-in on Monday night.The protesters were still there early Tuesday.

Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos said police planned to continue monitoring the situation in Woodruff Park.

Mayor Kasim Reed's chief of staff Candace Byrd told WSB-TV late Monday that officials were giving the protesters a chance to leave the park but declined to say what would happen if they didn't.
