The Upside-Down World of Fat Jesus

Chris Christie in his budget address yesterday:

And in Wisconsin and Ohio, they have decided there can no longer be two classes of citizens: one that receives rich health and pension benefits, and all the rest who are left to pay for them.

Yeah, he just referred to healthcare and retirement plans for state workers as "rich." Toll booth workers, teachers and state troopers are "rich," but everyone else, including actual rich people are suffering because of it. This is the twisted view of a modern Republican: rich people are sacrificing and suffering while middle and working class Americans are luxuriating in hot tubs filled with cash while sucking the government teat.
