Obama’s plan to eat the rich, chain the poor, Part II

My newspaper column this week of the same name righteously and persuasively pointed out the big fault in President Obama's dangerous economic plan. If you missed it, you can find it here.

Now comes developing news that bolsters the point. Thirty-six of President Obama's staff owe $833,000 in back taxes.

The only thing more unfair than letting half of America's citizens pay nothing in federal income taxes is to let your staff not pay their taxes at all.

If you want to better understand just what a form-over-substance guy Obama is, this story by Andrew Malcolm will do it.

PS: Review-Journal reader Jack Mowrey adds this to the discussion:

"Mr. Frederick.

"Obama keeps saying all our debt problems will be taken care of if the rich just pay there fair share. (Great column today) This won't work. This video is the best refutation of how just upping the tax rate a few points for the rich will solve our debt problem forever. It shows very clearly, our problem is not a revenue problem, but a spending problem..

"As many people as possible need to see this video."

I agree, Jack. And, your wish is my command. View it, everybody. Tell us what you think.
