Editorial cartoonistMy fellow Americans, the state of the Union is plutocracy, and this is a state we can all gather together to support in a new spirit of unity. More money pouring into the hands of the deserving, and joy from everyone except the merely envious. For ordinary workers, we have a once-in-an-ever-shortening-lifetime opportunity to work smarter, work harder and work longer hours and more days to help the deserving earn ever-higher, lower-taxed billions. To burn fossil fuels until the sun feels hotter than the rocks in the sauna on a billionaire’s yacht. We can all enjoy heat and water together, though in our different ways, in our newfound spirit of unity!
