About Tony Auth
Jules Feiffer has described Tony Auth best, "His perspective is that of a bemused and often angry comic historian. Irony, never a favorite form with Americans, is his meat and potatoes. He is not smug, and though he can be mean, he is never mean-spirited. Auth is a moralist and an optimist. He insists, even in this day and age, that hope is more than the name of a right-wing comedian or the shtick of a reactionary president."

And, the irrelevancy continues…

True cartoon. And the gender gap gets bigger as you go up — male CEOs pull in a lot more than female CEOs at the same size corporations. I’m curious when the completely true, scientifically measurable, statistically validated, over-studied fact that women IN THE SAME JOBS get paid less than men became a “liberal myth.” Maybe the same time that human-caused climate change became “disputed.” Next, tobacco smoking may not cause cancer and the ACA causes deaths.

Read some articles a while back about some companies paying back, but in general your pretty darn correct.

As a libertarian though I most recently voted Republican. Gave Obama a chance and he proved grossly incompetent and the Democrats in office just blindly rubber stamped whatever he threw at them.

The proportions in this cartoon are all wrong. To be accurate, the pillar representing the pay of the 1% should be at least 100 times as tall as the others… maybe even 1000 times.

I take it the left are? Talking about helping the working class while taxing them to death? Talking about taxing the rich with a wink, knowing that the rich won’t really pay more, and just bleed the ignorant working class.
