"If I make a dollar, and I'm taxed at fifty cents, isn't that enough? So for every dollar you make, you have to give two dollars back. 'No, that's not right. You're not paying enough.' It's half. Half! And then they go, 'The rich people have all these deductions.' Well, everyone in this room has the same deductions. You just didn't learn about it."

Although Lovitz qualified his rant by remarking, "I voted for the guy. I'm a democrat" — does it seem like the master thespian is wholeheartedly behind his controversial statements? Or, is this just an act?
Jon Lovitz Calls President Obama a 'F**king A**hole' | Hollywood.com
Looks to me that Lovitz is trying to get back into the biz and is using the old rule any publicity is good publicity.

Lovitz's routine is also inaccurate. The tax-rates haven't been 50% since he was on TV -- maybe that's the last time he actually filed a tax return.

Instead of cursing at Obama, Lovitz should be down on his knees thanking God that he was lucky enough to be born in a country where a useless shmu ck who contributes absolutely nothing to society can somehow manage to find himself in the top marginal tax bracket.

Well being in construction that is pretty much everyday language.

But Lovitz was making a good point, The 1% is starting to say **** You to Obummers. Not good when the hollywierds start with the attacks.

Matt Damon and John Cusack say "hi" from under the bus.

Brave people risking their careers, since the myopic neo-progressive Obama voter is one of their best customers.

No, thought it was funny. Decided that you democrats are a very depressed bunch and maybe this could be used as a pick me up. Obviously didn't work.

Um... yeah I have figured out that MD is a blue state, and always will be. I live in one of those tiny conservative towns that you people are trying to eradicate. I'm not gonna be here for the rest of my life, my life is just starting. The world is my oyster.
Now you will most likely be here for the rest of your miserable life because there are plenty of miserable libs here to keep you company. Have fun.
