Daily show episode talking about cutting 800 million out of the education budget in Wisconsin. Sprinkled with pundits talking about how teachers making 50 thousand a year plus 40 in benefits are overpaid and should make concessions.
Followed by parodying those same pundits saying that people who make 250,000 a year shouldn't have to pay more taxes because making that much money doesn't make you rich.
Followed by the same pundits talking about how wall street bankers deserve bonuses because they work hard and if they didn't get 5-10million in bonuses they would leave the companies and people with less experience would run the companies. These are the same firms who got 800 billion in government bailouts when they ran out of money by giving bad loans and by leveraging bad debts.
So of course the rich shouldn't get less money but those darn teachers making 90,000 including benefits a year should sure as hell take a pay cut when people making over 250,000 are apparently poor and cant afford one and people making 5-10 million in bonuses after salary deserve it for all the good work they've done.
Makes you realize how much social justice education is needed in schools
