(195,939 posts)100. tomm!!!! ---California teachers union video shows rich man urinating on poor to make taxes case
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/12/05/california-teachers-union-video-shows-rich-man-urinating-on-poor-to-make-case/
An animated video produced by a California teachers union uses the crude imagery of a rich man urinating on common folks to decry what narrator Ed Asner claims is rich peoples refusal to pay their share of taxes.
The crude footage is part of a Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, an eight-minute video written and directed by California Federation of Teachers communications director Fred Glass. In it, Asner describes a mythical land that seems to represent the U.S. and how it financed its services. He says the rich sought to evade taxes and put their money into Wall Street yet another clue to the real identity of the storybook country.
Dont worry, Asner says, speaking for the rich. This is good for you, too. Because it will trickle down from us to you.

They're apparently not watching it - just taking Fox's word on it. You think they'd learn.

You know, I think a lot of them are. They're paid sock-puppets, or meat-puppets or whatever you want

It's easy and quick to post and enough of it drives any positive remarks off of the page.

The sad thing is people probably do think the cause of the crash was money falling on their houses
