Ben Staining My Rational Mind

"The first step toward putting our house in order, once we are past the seemingly looming recession, is much higher taxes on the truly rich and serious enforcement to prevent offshore tax evasion."

Ben Stein

Is Ben Stein insane? He can’t possibly mean this?. Tax the rich and expect that to bail the country of its fiscal crisis? This is absurd.

How about slashing the entitlement programs that inflate the federal budget to gigantic proportions? How about reducing overall spending? How about allowing younger workers like myself to put some of their SS dollars into private 401(k) style accounts? Why not actually propose a budget that doesn’t allow Congress to spend into oblivion?

How about ending this stupid war in Iraq? Like right the fuck now?

No Ben, John McCain is not the bravest man to ever run for the presidency. He’s just another cog in a broken political machine that long ago crushed the capitalistic backbone of this country. Electing him would be like electing Dr. Kevorkian to head a research board tasked with finding a cure to final stage cancer.
