This is populism?

I caught another one of Glenn Beck's zany, extended rants that open up his Fox tv show today. He was saying that to solve America's economic crisis taxes should be lowered. Specifically, that taxes on the rich should go down and taxes on the poor and lower working class should go up.

Then he brought on Arthur Laffer to explain how to fix the economy. That would be the same Arthur Laffer who inspired the economic policies of the Bush administration which transformed a large budget surplus into a large budget deficit and helped crash the economy.

Why am I not surprised?

*sigh*

Oh, it gets worse.....

Wow. This si just rich, even for that particularly distasteful excuse for a human being.

Btw, I stumbled upon your blog through googling sylvia brown 700 dollars, and I like what I see :)
