I already did and it's funny, but I'm not impressed with the content since it's being taken literally/seriously.Just this week pourman was outraged that I claimed conservatives wanted to raise taxes on the poor. No way he actually checks out that clip.
If you want to believe Stewart that taxing income is somehow taxing wealth, your choice. If you want to believe broadening the tax base means taxing the poor, when it always refers to expanding the economy, your choice. If you can't imagine why someone would point out that most Americans don't pay income taxes, a point raised because the left believes the burden of the bottom 50% is too high, your choice. I get it. It's funny liberal stuff and "awesome", the standard petty attacks on Fox being icing on the cake.
But to me it's just more demogagory from the left and legit ideas taken out of context, using humor to do what Millhouse has already pointed out. That was my point earlier in the week. Stewart's an entertainer after all, but look at the left on here falling over themselves like a fundamentalist church goer after a rousing sermon. I suppose you also think these sorts of mischaracterizations create the environment for the real honest policy debate you claim to want, but it really doesn't. You have to wade through all the BS Stewart created.
Doesn't really matter though. The New Deal dogma you favor that underlies all these issues is going down and relatively shortly. Its inevitable.
