Ben Stein on CNN

[Hippo_Tron]

Talked about raising taxes on the wealthiest 1% for military pay raises. Sounds like another oldstyle Republican who is not satisfied with Bush.

1. Let's hope

It would be good to have some help from reasonable people on the other side.

3. Yea, its nice to know that

the right isn't full of belligerent demagogues.

2. I heard him last week say the same thing

Also, he said that corporations abandoning America's shores for Bermuda etc are unpatriotic and reneging on their responsibility to pay taxes here and support America. Coming from him, I was floored.

5. Well, good for Ben Stein for saying that.

This is a message Kerry has been using. This could be a postive message in the general election for Kerry...making it illegal for corporations and individuals to put their financial portfolios in places like the Grand Cayman Islands solely to evade paying their share of taxes. This is unpatriotic, IMO, and needs to be addressed.

4. Election year bullshit...

won't ever drink that koolaid.

6. While I was awaiting the DC march coverage on CSPAN,

they showed a pro-life award ceremony that featured both Dick Cheney and Ben Stein as speakers.

I'm not a big Ben Stein fan.
