Jon Stewart on Class Warfare

As only Jon can do it:

Part 1: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/t...re---warren-buffett-vs--wealthy-conservatives

Part 2: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/t...-class-warfare---the-poor-s-free-ride-is-over

 

The duplicity of the right, where taxing the top 2% of earners will "only raise $700B over 10 years", so it's not worth it, while out of the other side of their mouths, they want to nickel and dime away NPR, etc.

The second part is about the demonization of the poor

 

Yeah! Fuck those people. The poor.

 

if you tax the poor @ 50% rate you get the same 700B in revenue...?
man I remember when Bill Gates was in the 50% tax bracket !

say as long as we are posting links to songs, I wanted to post Salt of the Earth by the Stones, seems apropriate here ?

Lets drink to the hard working people
Lets drink to the lowly of birth
Raise your glass to the good and the evil
Lets drink to the salt of the earth

Raise your glass to the hard working people
Lets drink to the uncounted heads
Lets think of the wavering millions
Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
And a parade of the gray suited grafters
A choice of cancer or polio

Lets drink to the hard working people
Lets think of the lowly of birth
Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
Lets drink to the salt of the earth

I can't post the utube link cause my post count is too low.
