Tax the Rich: An animated fairy tale


 
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.

You have to watch this piece of crap video. Every problem is blamed on the rich and the republicans.  :mental:

The DUmmies are all giddy over this propaganda.

Would explain why they left out the part about the stimulus going to the unions.  :-)

Well, one wonders how much ol' Ed Asner's contributing to the national treasury.

Whatever it is, I'll bet he can pitch in a lot more.

ya know, Kalifornia has a lottery, and like most states with lotteries, all the proceeds from the lottery is supposed to go to education.

where is all that lottery cash, DUmmies?

Ed Asner went off the deep-end as a 9/11 troofer.

'nuff said.

He must have sucked in too much helium when they filmed the movie Up.  :-)

How about something as classic as "The Ant and the Grasshopper"?

Would that liberals would heed even that much.
