Over the past month or so, I’ve been seeing articles about the cheapest places to live, lowest housing costs, and the like. Atlanta ranked pretty high on those lists. Now I know why.

I too feel bad for the maligned plutocrats when people with nothing make fun of them. That mean old duck.

I must have missed something – I don’t understand how this in any way describes Obama. Help me out, someone? (Great ’toon, Ruben.)

Egads—it shows such ill-breeding to mention the evisceration of the lower classes. Mr. Bolling can kiss his invitation to the Oligarchy Ball goodbye!

I think Marie Antoinette would call these rich crooks crybabies, all they have had happen is the people starting to protest, they haven’t gotten the people mad enough at them to earn her fate.

I think the point is more that rich people think poor people are evil.

We’d have seen them if Bush was still in the White House. We may yet if one of the GOP idiots manages to win in 2012.

@Tigger, since Obama has been seeking to RAISE taxes on the super-wealthy, ADD regulation, and INCREASE funding for social services — the exact opposite of what the characters in the comic are doing — how on earth does the comic describe Obama “to a T”?
