The five-dollar free candy bar

Back to this topic

The five-dollar free candy bar · Proposed air date:

Dr. Dave and Evil Steve turn their objection to government programs and an Internet sales-tax proposal into a deliberately simple picture: someone offers a weekly ninety-nine-cent candy bar for free, then asks for five dollars and eventually delivers a smaller bar after a long wait. The exchange captures the show's political voice through a concrete, memorable analogy rather than a list of policy claims.
