It seems as if he wants to destroy the ability of the middle and upper middle class to leave inheritance for future generations. That would be a warped way to “level the playing field”.
Poor thing, why would you put yourself through that?
If it didn’t involve my job, there is no way on God’s green Earth I would watch this thing, ever.
Oh.....
Absolutely spot-on piece by Mr. Hunter. All of us who have slogged through life’s tribulations and made it on our own are yelling “Yeah!!” as we read it.
Now if there were only a way to make the political class understand.
If you ever wondered what happened to that mean kid who threatened to beat everyone up on the playground, well, he became President and he’s still mean and still threatens to beat everyone up! The only one he’ll shut up around is his wife because she doesn’t just threaten, she in fact, DOES, beat HIM up!
Hussein just pandering to his base, the PATHETIC.
Woman Showcased by Obama in SOTU is a Former Democratic Campaign Staffer

The woman whose story of economic recovery was showcased by President Barack Obama in his State of the Union address is a former Democratic campaign staffer and has been used by Obama for political events in the past.
Rebekah Erler has been presented by the White House as a woman who was discovered by the president after she wrote to him last March about her economic hardships. She was showcased in the speech as proof that middle class Americans are coming forward to say that Obama’s policies are working.
Unmentioned in the White House bio of Erler is that she is a former Democratic campaign operative, working as a field organizer for Sen. Patty Murray (D., Wash.).
This also wasn’t the first time the White House used the former Democratic campaign staffer as a political prop. Obama spent a “day in the life” of Erler in June so that he could have “an opportunity to communicate directly with the people he’s working for every day.”

The picture here suggests that perhaps Mr. Boehner is doing the right thing under the circumstances. At least his eyes appear closed.
Superb article. Thanks !
