The Obama Economy: Are We Having Fun Yet?
This week two of my liberal acquaintances admitted that they were shocked and disgusted by the confiscation of their income through the increased tax rates that hit on January 1st. Gloating would not be dignified. “I told you so” would be snarky. But their genuine disappointment and concern created the perfect atmosphere for a discussion about our rights to life and property. The following table is an in-depth reality check for my liberal friends whose hopes that Hussein would bring universal peace, unicorns, and ‘kumbaya’ have been dashed.
