Classic class envy - a socialist/communist view

Beautifully displayed by Barney Frank:

The money quote? Right here:

I think at this point, there needs to be an immediate increase in spending, and I think this is a time when deficit fear has to take a second, uh, a second seat. I do think this is the time for a very important kind of dose of [unintelligible]. Yes, I think later on, there should be tax increases. Speaking personally, I think there are a lot of rich people out there who we can tax at a point down the road to recover some of this money.

Yep. Barney Frank isn't interested in fairness. He isn't interested in the 40% of Americans who don't pay taxes. He'd rather go after the "rich people" out there who are working hard, making money, creating jobs (for those 40% - well, the part who aren't on welfare), and invigorating our economy.

Nah, Barney Frank would rather make sure that the government spends money like a drunken sailor, with no checks and balances, and then - after writing all sorts of NSF checks - making "the rich" pay for it all.

Congressman Frank, you - and all your tax-and-spend cohorts - are a disgrace to America.
