Barack Obama’s Bitter Tax Hike

My column today addresses Obama's philosophy on taxes. An excerpts:

Barack Obama would rather embrace the social cost of imposing the high tax, which hurts everyone and slows down the economy, rather than see everyone get ahead at different speeds.

It is like saying you would rather not send your three children to college at all than have one of them get into the Ivy League and the other two merely attend second-tier schools. There are so many words for this disquieting mentality, but “hopeful” is not one of them. Perhaps “bitterness” is.
