| The George H.W. Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, ME. Understandably, the former president’s son, George W. Bush, sponsored tax cuts for the rich during his presidency. |
The cry of class warfare predictably raised in response to the Obama Administration’s most recent call to ask the rich to pay their fair share of taxes in a jobs plan that includes cuts to Social Security and Medicare raises a question that wealthy conservatives have failed to answer persuasively if at all.

Comedic genius Jon Stewart does a much better job of framing the question than I do. Watch the video below and laugh or cry as the spirit moves you:
