EXCERPT:

STEWART: “This is my 'So you want to be an accountant?' starter kit. Got it off of Amazon for $5,000. My accountant told me not to get it. So we’re looking to save taxpayers some money and, oh, I know! How about we just take $3 billion in subsidies we give to oil and gas companies that already turn billions in profits? How long did that take?
(Cheering and Applause)
Oh, wait! How about we just close down the carried interest loophole on hedge funds? That’s $1.3 billion a year. Oh, how about we stop the $2 trillion we’ve given to defense contractors to build a fighter jet that blows, when everybody knows the next war is going to be fought with drones and blockchains, whatever that is!”
