How about conservatives constantly complaining about how The Daily Show has too many writers.  They won’t admit that the show is funnier than anything a conservative talk show could come up with (exception being Red Eye), so they complain about “writer inequality”.

STEWART RULES !!

RIGHTIES SUCK !!!!

YEAH !!!!

With Stewarts desire to convince everyone that he is really , really , one of the 99% ,
you would think that he would renegotiate his salary from $14,000,000 , to $84,530 ( median income Suffolk County , New York 2010 ) , to show his solidarity .

Or , is he taking one for the team , and fighting the man from the inside ?  LOL .

Behead the rich!!  Then eat them!!   You’ll all be out of work, but you will have showed those rich SOB’s who’s boss!!

He, like all rich liberals, like to pretend they are 99′ers.  Tom Brokaw, who is worth around $77 million, was on tv yesterday, telling people that money isn’t important.  That we rely too much on it.  That we need to think more about what we have to have and not what we want.  Hey Tom, you first buddy!!  No one is forcing your to collect that huge paycheck!!

Actually, if you watched the show you would know that Jon has never claimed to be a 99%er, and he is willing to pay more in taxes.

No one is stopping him from paying more taxes now.   If he feels so strongly about it, why does he have to be forced, instead of doing it voluntarily?

You mean like when those plebs walked out of Rome and left those rich SOBs to fight for themselves so the rich opened up the senate to the plebs thereby creating the first true Republic? Why couldn’t they just stay in their place, right?

Who was complaining about too many writers?  Obviously you think they have too many writers.  (constantly complaining lol from a lefty)
It’s not funny – the funny part is how you all wait with bated breath to see what you’re supposed to say about blah blah the next day.  

I think it should be renamed “the lemming express” lol

if Jon and every other 1% payed ALL their income in taxes, it would be a drop in the old bucket there Mr. Lemming.  

Don’t waste your time on that one, Reasonable. Even if top economists explain why it is necessary to tax the top bracket a little more or sociologits warn that the increasingly obsene income inequality is tearing society apart, it’ll all just sound like “behead the rich!” to her. Michelle is the perfect example of a tone deaf GOP foot soldier. And she’s marching every day.

And there’s me thinking that hating those with ginger hair was the last acceptable prejudice.

The issue is that these 1% aren’t new MONEY or worked their way to the top. The ones who are destroying our economy are 2nd generation money like the WALTONS and KOCHROACHES who will do anything to keep their wealth. There is no sense of obligation to pay forward, because these guys never paid for the first ride, DADDY DID. In addition, a lot of the new rich got there by cheating, stealing and bilking the american public and their pension funds. Put the WALL STREETERS that tanked the economy in jail. I wonder how many of the 1% would be left standing??

This is actually a question for Michelle… is it even possible to do that? How does one pay more taxes than is due without getting a refund? Serious question, I just get my stuff done at H&R and don’t recall ever being asked if I wanted to pay more… the only elective I know of is donating to the Presidential Election Fund.

The problem with this country is not hatred of the wealthy; it’s the worship of them.

Because those 13.915.370 dollars would just go to the company and its owners (the aforementioned 1%) and not to the 99%’ers?

He’s also never made any claims about being a part of the 99%.

The entire point of the protest is not to get one or even 100 1%’er to pay more taxes, it’s about fixing a broken system and also making it so that all 1%’ers pay a more balanced share of taxes.

The problem isn’t millionaires & billionaires making money. I’m all for it..The thing most of the “Left” believes in is that they need to pay their just taxes. I’m sure many of the people here have seen the ads on Newsmax on how the ‘right’ can get out of paying any taxes.

The Bush Tax Cuts on the rich was a wrong move. One when we went to War we should have increased taxes.
Almost all of the increase in the National Debt can be traced back to one thing DoD spending. But we should have raised taxes to help cover these expenses.

If you want to say that the tax cuts were to spur the increase in jobs…Each job created by the Bush Tax Cuts cost the taxpayers (the middle class)  $329K each  That is about 6 jobs for the average American or for the South nearly 11 jobs. Hell, Americans could have just given unemployed people $25K and done more for the economy than Bush’s Cuts.

It’s on par with hating the British royalists who wanted to make us their slaves, just like the 1% who want to ship our jobs out of the country, pay for their wars, and make us economic slaves, for profits on Wall Street. 83% of the US stocks are in the 1% hands, according to the Business Insider. Using force against us, the 99%, will make us grow even bigger.

I’m a liberal but Stewart’s a hypocrite. Dude is a 1%’er, so he has no right to be sarcastic to this guy. 

Correction: Jon said “persecuted minority,” not “prosecuted minority.”

This movement has never been about the 1%ers, If you agree with left wing politics you are good, if you criticize any part of the movement, or lean conservative on any issue, you get called a 1%er. A conservative reporter pointed out Michael Moores fortune as he ranted about the evil 1%, yet did the crowd consider that argument? Nope, because the reporter was conservative and blasting their liberal king, the crowd turned on him and started chanting ‘whos paying you? whos paying you?’

Jon Stewart, who is paid more than just about anyone on the network then sides with the movement, he is a 1% and his brother is one of the ‘evil fatcats’ OWS is supposed to want more sacrifices from, but he gets a free pass because he leans left. 

This movement is becoming less about equality and more about progressive politics every single day.

LOL!

What about CHRISTIANS and Black and Hispanic Conservatives — and GOD!

They’re still acceptable targets by the self-aggrandizing ”Progressives”, and their 5th-Century level of thinking!
