© Ed Stein (read his comments on the comic too) Reagan promised us that if we cut taxes for the rich, they would create jobs and prosperity for the rest of us. But all that has happened is that the gap between the rich and the poor has grown by leaps and bounds. In fact, […]

Fox News sticks up for the rich, and identifies the real villains — the poor! Jon Stewart has fun destroying their logic from every possible angle.
