Tax the rich.
And if they get snotty about it, kill 'em
.This video, which illustrates just how effectively the 1% dropped this
country to its knees has obviously struck a raw nerve with the folks at
FoxNews. They are attempting to do some pre-emptive strikes because
they know it will be watched and understood by the typical FoxNews
viewer. Hannity was about to jump out of his skin over it, pulling segments of it to attack.
But he is only going to bring more attention to it and more FoxNews
viewers are going to watch it and understand just exactly how the 1%
took control of the country's wealth.... including how buying up media
outlets and news organizations in order to spread the message of the
obscenely-wealthy has contributed to it all. (cough... FoxNews.. cough)
Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, is narrated by Ed Asner, with animation by Mike Konopacki. Written and directed by Fred Glass for the California Federation of Teachers. An 8 minute video about how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don't want to pay taxes anymore. They tell the people that there is no alternative, but the people aren't so sure. This land bears a startling resemblance to our land. For more info, www.cft.org.
