‘A yorkshire pudding like a dishcloth’: how did British pub food get so grim?

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

Too much tax is being paid by ordinary working people, and too little is being paid by people who have high levels of wealth, investment income and capital gains. Companies are also not paying their fair share.
