Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart Daily Show
Stewart rips Fox News over ‘class warfare’ hysteria Posted on 08.19.11 By David Edwards Categories: Featured, Political Satire/Parody Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart Thursday put to rest Fox News’ claims that taxing the wealthy amounts to “class warfare.” Personalities at the conservative network have been outraged this week at Warren Buffett’s suggestion that tax rates should be raised by five percent on Americans making over $250,000.

But when it came to President Barack Obama’s Secret Service bus, all of the sudden, $1.1 million seemed like a massive amount to them.
