Jon Lovitz Skewers Obama

Former Saturday Night Live comedian and Democrat Jon Lovitz (who happened to vote for Obama) layed into Barack Obama on a podcast of his  ABC’s of SNL.

“This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don’t pay their taxes is fucking bullshit. And I voted for the guy and I’m a Democrat. What a fucking asshole.”
“The rich don’t pay their taxes? Let me tell you something, right, first they tell you–you’re dead broke–This is the United States of America, you can do anything you want, go for it. So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyone’s like, Fuck you.” 

Co-host Kevin Smith argued with Lovitz that he was unfairly ripping on the 99%, Lovitz fired back by saying the director was “masquerading as a 99%er.”

More and more are becoming disenchanted with Obama, but not enough to make much of  a dent, and probably not enough to stop them from voting for him again.  And there are still many who are as enamored of him as they were when they voted for him four years ago.

Rick Santelli Bashes The Buffet Rule

CNBC on-air editor Rick Santelli lashes out against the Buffett Rule. 

Most of my "99%"er cohorts agree with Obama's assessment that the top money makers need to be paying more taxes. But what they don't realize is that if all those wealthy patrons of the arts are taxed more, the first thing they will do away with is funding the arts. The economy has already hit the performing arts industry very hard, with losses of many theatres (some major) nationwide. I predict there will be many more going belly up, if the Buffett Rule goes into effect. Most of us are already scrambling to find work to keep up with our insurance, fewer theatres will make it even more difficult to qualify. 

Why doesn't Buffett  just donate a bunch of his cash to the government to help lower the deficit? But just like all those other 'patriotic millionaires' who called for higher taxes but refused to donate to the treasury department, Buffett would never think of parting with his millions.
