Ben Stein: "Raise the taxes on the rich to give the military pay raises."

Heard his editorial on American Public Media's "Marketplace" this A.M.

A little too focused for my taste, but if THAT yahoo is starting to wake up, maybe there's hope.

2. if that tight fisted, greedy little conservative

is supporting taxing the rich to support the military, then you know the military is in sad shape and this admin has screwed things up horrible.

5. He made a real big deal about rich people....

...waiting in line for 10 million dollar condos and Bentleys. Said we've got 500 billionaires and that it was about enough.

Surprised me.

4. Has he first made sure they're all shopping at Wal-Mart?

"When a Wall-Mart opens in an area it's as if everyone in the town got a 20% raise because their prices are so low that it's the equivalent of everyone in the area getting a raise."

7. Hmmm. Where's the catch.

Anytime a conservative starts sounding like a liberal, I have to ask, what's in it for them. Where is the hidden agenda?
