Another Step Closer to Socialism

A recent FT/Harris poll shows that many in the world would like to see rich people taxed more and the government cap the salaries of company executives. The people from the richest countries said that they would like the government to sock it to the rich. Of course, those who are not rich tend to get more in the way of government programs so, of course they want to tax the rich. How on Earth could they survive without the redistribution of income?

Listen to the Generals

The debate rages about the war in Iraq with Democrats hell bent to appease their anti war base before the next election. Victory in Iraq is not a concern for them as long as they obtain victory at the ballot box.
