Daily Kos Publishes Worst Comic Ever: The One Rich Guy

If you thought that the Left's arguments in favor of wealth-redistribution were factless and short-sighted, you haven't read "The One Rich Guy," a new comic published on the Daily Kos today.

It has everything a liberal could want: a stereotypical, evil rich man with a top hat and monocle, people making fun of capitalism, and no logical explanation as to why any of this might happen and no solutions.

And, of course, it relies heavily on the fallacy that if someone is rich, why, he must be stealing from everyone else!

Gird your loins. The comic is called "The Modern World," by Tom Tomorrow. And today's edition is named "The One Rich Guy:"

Are they really THAT stupid.

Yes, but not because the lack the ability to see the truth. They're that stupid because upon seeing the truth they reject it because it would invalidate their self-image.

“Tommy don’t realize that the “one rich guy” is a monster that was created with the help of Big Gov which supplied him with the levelrs of power he needed to maintain his monopoly... You know like (we pay no taxes because we buddy up to Obama) G.E.”

100%. Getting rich today is less about innovation and hard work than it is about skewing regulations/contracts in your favor through bought politicians.

“The Daily Kos” is still around?!

TT’s This Modern World has been worthless dreck for decades. Even the Minneapolis alternative rag has quit carrying it...I don’t know how long ago.

Hate the rich, blame the rich but don't pay attention to the scumbags who are really hurting you. The one group of rich people who deserve our scorn are the rich politicians. They are closing coal plants and causing our electric bills to go up 70% to 80%. They are the ones who are destroying our health care and wrecking our economy. It is the filthy politicians who are to blame for the mess this country is in.

I’ve seen lots of cartoons from DailyKos. They’re always so sucked up their own ass, pompous and drip with such elitism it’s hard to find any humor (or even common sense).

I didn't say Republican. .I said the right..this goes even to libertarian. .the right and libertarian do not see wealth, having more, or create more, then other people as a problem..it political power, have or creating political power over other people that is the problem...the left is saying inequality in wealth justifies creation of massive political power to redistribute wealth “equally” (or so they say) but the right libertarian say equal distribution of power is the answer...see wealth creation is NOT a zero sum game you are not poor because I am rich..but political power IS a zero sum game..I get power only by taking from others ...and by force.

This “comic” would be what one might expect from a kindergarten child of a set of leftist parents..seriously.

There are so many “holes” in the thinking behind it (if you can call it “thinking”) it isn’t worth paying attention to in any serious way.
