Tax the Rich... Classic Class Envy

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism And the class warfare goes on, and on, and on. The progressive Moonbattery {following} continues. You can tell something’s happening in the economic policy debate when you start reading more things like AEI’s Arthur Brooks explaining that it would simply be unfair to raise taxes on the rich.
