"Tax the Rich: An Animated Fairy Tale" by the California Federation of Teachers: 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.

It wouldn’t take much for the Jew part. The rich fat cat short guy wouldn’t take much tweaking and there you go, the Jew you can use as a scapegoat!
Those leftists always do this. The project everything.
In the meantime, I'll continue to express my opinion of this valip dreck any way I like.
Vapid... dammit
An anti-rich guy video .... narrated by a rich guy.
the proper response would be a animated video of the teacher’s union and the teachers urinating on the students and the taxpayers.
blessings, bobo
Not only would Josef love it but the image of the “rich” looks very much like the Nazi portayals of Jews. I’m sure der Fuehrer approves. Ein Volk,ein Reich, ein Fuehrer.
FUBO & FAD
2 things I noticed, in the “animation.”
1) The “big nose” on the rich guy, much like the anti-Jew cartoons seen over the years.
2) The “City Park” arch looks remarkably like the “Arbeit Macht Frei” arches.

Heard part of it on the radio. It sounded like Ed Asner was trying to channel George Carlin but came off more like George of the Jungle.

It takes a community of Leftwing haters to promote the idea that citizens would urinate on each other.
These haters, a few of which abuse children, need to rethink their depraved attitude about US citizens. The vitriol and resentment they foster is not deserving of the money made available by the hardworking taxpayers. The defiling imagery that represents their hateful mindset should be a reminder of the disdain these individuals have for those funding their salaries, benefits, and retirement.
One of our grandchildren is is government schools, and he is the only one having difficulty. Wish it were otherwise.
