6. BACK TO THE 80%
Y'know... 40% would be OK if corporations paid their taxes and the churches and their businesses were taxed.

4. Yep, I have a really hard time drumming up much sympathy
for the mega wealthy. In fact, it's rather audacious that any of them would complain publicly. Some young Wall Street brat recently confronted Obama at a town hall meeting whining about being vilified. Couldn't believe. It's a wonder the crowd didn't pounce on him and rip him to shreds. It's sickening.

5. As my old boss used to say...
Inform the rich as follows:

"If you want sympathy, it's in the dictionary between shit and syphilis."

39 percent's a bitch, eh? Bring back IKE!

7. just to note: Ben Stein was not an economist for Nixon
His father, Herbert Stein, was (Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, the post currently held by Austan Goolsbee)

Ben Stein was a junior staff speechwriter and lawyer for Nixon. He has a BA in economics, but that doesn't make one an "economist", except of the worst sort.
