Fairness forgotten when U.S. is spending
The Gazette Opinion Staff
Feb. 7, 2012 11:47 pm
President Barack Obama recently completed his “tax the rich until there are rich no more” campaign tour. His theme: It's only fair that the rich pay their “fair share” to help reduce the national debt.
He conveniently forgets the fairness issue when he and his cohorts go on a spending spree that threatens to make the USA the new European debt crisis times 10. Evidently they don't teach Economics 101 (don't spend more than you take in) in the Ivy League.
