Swiss Communists Will Be Next To Kill Whitey, By Capping Executive Pay
For a long time now, we have been hearing that Obama is a European-style Socialist.

Marco Rubio Champions The Downtrodden, Opposes Paying Them
Some people, for some reason, got it in their heads that the Republican Party was the party that looked out for rich folks, the party that was ideologically opposed to helping the less fortunate so it could grant new privileges to “job creators.” For some reason, nobody can really remember why, like, 47 percent of [...]
Persecuted Job Creators Not Being Taxed To Death By States, Don’t Worry
We have heard so very much about how mean this country is to rich folks.

David Brooks Comforts Rich People
If you LOVED David Brooks’ last column, wherein he blamed massive income inequality on slutty poors who do not read “Goodnight Moon” to their ugly, lazy, and disrespectful children (no rly), you’ll REALLY LOVE his latest column!

Look, Just Go Read This GQ Piece About Income Inequality Right Now, We Will Wait
Remember that movie they made you watch in 6th grade, the Eames Brothers’ “Powers of Ten”? It starts out one meter above a picnic in Chicago, then zooms out ten times, and out another ten times, and in three minutes or so, you’re at the edge of the galaxy? Jon Ronson has written a story [...]
TED People Nix Income Inequality Chat In Favor Of More Prissy Totebagging Social Media Efficiency Crap
Do you kids like the TED talks?

National Review All Snitty About Poors And Taxes For A Change
Deroy Murdock at the NRO is really peeved, you guys, because he’s somehow accidentally managed to hear about things like “income inequality” and “fairness.” He’s TRIED to cover his ears and go la la la la la la and never ever watch anything other than Fox News, but that doesn’t drown out the screams of [...]
Romney Declines To Discuss Wealth Disparity Unless It’s In ‘Quiet Rooms’
Now listen here, Mitt Romney would just like to say, it is awfully unsporting of Barack Obama to go jaunting about on his campaign trail rousing mischief among the rabble and inciting their passions until they are envious of Mittens’ lovely piles of money. MANNERS. The correct way to address this dirty business of the [...]

Terminally panicky villain-child Eric Cantor was all set to deliver a speech on “income inequality” and its many virtues to what he thought would be a carefully selected audience of approvingly docile business students at the Wharton School, but at the last minute university officials reminded Cantor’s office that the event would be open to [...]
Simple Charts Explain How 90% of Americans Get Almost Nothing
In this ridiculous country, it’s “class warfare” when working people would like a fair wage and health insurance, but it’s “Morning in America” when the top 1% have harvested nearly every dollar of financial gain in this country for the past 30 years. Corporate taxes have dropped as quickly as CEO salaries and bonuses have [...]
