Most shocking political news headline of the year!

Democrats in debate urge taxes on rich

That is indeed newsworthy. Democratic presidential candidates trying to appeal to a far Left base urge socking it to the "rich"? Well, there's a new strategy. When all else fails, appeal to the banal desires of people, to envy and jealously all fueled by the belief that "that guy" has more than me, and that is unfair, so take what he has and give it to me. There was of course no mention by any of the Democrats of the well established fact that the "rich" in this country already pay an obscenely disproportionate share of the tax burden. I shan't hold my breath waiting for that revelation to be spoken by the likes of Hillary, Obama and Edwards.
