Even supposed conservative Ben Stein thinks taxing the rich more will help balance the budget. He's full of bananas, but more and more people have bought into the "tax the rich" scam.

One point that no politician or news person seems to mention is the amount of tax revenue lost due to the approximately 23 million un/under employed.

Pelosi and many politicians claim that those getting unemployment are actually helping the economy. While it is true that they cause money circulation by buying food, paying rent, etc., they could be doing so much more, if they were fully employed.

Of course, the politicians and newsies live on Planet Lalaland.

Ben voted for Obama, didn’t he? At least in ‘08.
