Save the Rich - Garfunkle and Oates

While the previously mentioned Hieronymus Bosh may be seen representing the 16th Christian viewpoint that secularists are little more than satanists, Garfunkel and Oates posted their Save the Rich satire on YouTube in 2011, one year ahead of the American election cycle and seem to echo verbatim the talking points of the Democratic Party heading into election day.
History is full of satirists taking sides, but seldom is the author hoisted upon their own petard as completely as Missies Garfunkel and Oates with their Babalulu, bubblehead ignorance of market economics.
I have no more use for corporate fruit flies than I do for government fruit flies but may I point out that the top 20% of Americans account for 84% of tax revenues while the bottom 20% are paid entitlements not by the government which does not generate capital, but by the taxpayers.
May I also point out, that as a satirist, if you pillory each side's hypocrisy with impunity, you have much more ammunition and twice as much fun.
