Heritage referred us to this post from The Blaze
"A new animated video released by the California Federation of Teachers shows the rich “1 percent” urinating on and stealing money from the less fortunate and middle class. The purpose of the video is to explain “economic inequality” and the need for wealthy people to pay their “fair share of taxes.”
"The video argues that the rich got richer by evading taxes and using loopholes to hold onto their money. The union claims this is why Congress needs to repeal Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
''Narrated by actor Ed Asner, the full video is currently featured on the official California Federal Teachers website." (Video at this link)
"CFT Communications Director Fred Glass, who wrote and directed the video, told TheBlaze the cartoon is not intended for children.
"“I love animation and I believe it is an effective way of communicating ideas that is a little different,” he said, adding that there are no plans to show the video in California classrooms."
Professor Jacobson at Legal Insurrection made this statement that I cannot disagree with: When Soviet-style propaganda comes to America, it will be published by the California Federation of Teachers and narrated by Ed Asner
"The video is reminiscent of Soviet anti-capitalist propaganda cartoons, with gross caricatures of voracious rich people feeding off the poor:"
Prof Jacobson concludes with this ominous prediction:

As we sort through where and how this country lost its way, at least one of the roads leads to the California Federation of Teachers, and another road to Hollywood.
