Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and they argued over the merits of capitalism. Colbert trumpeted the pure joy in being richer than everyone else while Sanders tried to educate Colbert about how the Federal Reserve has failed most Americans. Not surprisingly, they disagreed on the whether Ben Bernanke should keep his job as the head of the Fed.

Colbert:

Who better to solve the problem then the person who helped create the problem?… If you are cursed by a witch, you have to get the original witch to take the curse off you. Or don’t you understand financial fairy tales?
