Showing unintended humor as well as a lack of understanding of gravity, some leftwing protesters have come up with a novel plan to redistribute wealth in the United States.

They plan to levitate the Denver Mint.

That may sound odd, but this won't be the first time that activists have used levitation politics. During one of the anti-Vietnam war protests in Washington D.C., a group of passionate, if not particularly intelligent, leftists called for colleagues to rally round the Pentagon and levitate it.
Most of those protesters were financially secure and college educated, but apparently had overlooked any science classes in their studies.

Flash forward 40 years. Despite the soaring rhetoric of Sen. Barack Obama, some things never change.

Contemporary leftists are still protesting, but they have changed their levitation targets. During the 2008 Democratic  Convention in Denver, some protesters say the Denver Mint should be lifted off the ground.

As they put it, "Join us as we encircle the Denver Mint (where U.S. currency is produced) and use our collective power to raise the mint building in the air and shake the money out of it for the people. Don't forget a sack to put all of your loot in. Bring noise makers, energy, spells, magic, costumes,and  anything that gives you power. We will need it!"

Alas, for the protesters, the physics of levitation and the laws of gravity haven't changed in 40 years. Despite all the mental energy expended in 1967, the Pentagon stayed on the ground.

So will the Denver Mint.

As for reallocating wealth, the protesters will have to do it the old-fashioned way - by getting a job.
