Jon Lovitz Blasts President Obama's Tax-the-Rich Plan in Salty Rant
Jon Lovitz had some strong – and salty – words for President Obama in a comedic critique he staged while discussing “The ABC's of SNL” with director Kevin Smith.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum went off on the president -- after admitting that he's a Democrat and voted for Obama -- for his take on taxing the rich.
“This whole thing with Obama saying the rich don't pay their taxes is f---ing bullshit,” Lovitz said. “First they say to you … ‘The United States of America, you can do anything you want -- go for it! So then you go for it and you make it and everyone's like, ‘F—k you!”

Lovitz took a brief moment out of his diatribe to praise the “amazing” president for making it against the odds. “He had nothing. He had no father – he was, y'know mixed-race … and the guy ends up going to Harvard, and he's the president of the United States.”
But the funnyman's goodwill was short-lived. “And now he's like, ‘f—k me, and everyone who made it like me,'” Lovitz said.
Smith, who hosted the talk earlier this year at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club & Podcast Theater in Hollywood's Universal City Walk, gave Lovitz a little direction: “Stop yelling at the 99 percent!”
“It's my club!” Lovitz shot back.
The podcast of their class-conscious chat session was posted on Monday.
