Two clips from the s…

Two clips from the same news story.

Clip #1: Democrat Joe Lieberman…is promising to ensure that upper-income Americans pay more taxes than they did before President Bush’s record-breaking tax cuts.

Clip #2: “That’s class warfare….”

Question: Who gave the quote in clip #2? Karl Rove? Bill O’Reilly? Some Republican deriding Lieberman’s proposal as yet another “soak the rich” scheme?

Nope. Joe Lieberman said it, interestingly enough. But, in spite of the fact that his own proposal feeds on that very class warfare, he doesn’t call it that. Instead, he decries the idea of giving you back some of your own hard-earned money “class warfare”. Talk about your double-speak! Lieberman calls tax refunds “class warfare”, and then turns around and promises the middle class that he’s gonna get those rich folks.

It’s just the same, tired rhetoric from another Democrat. The headline for this AP story is, “Lieberman Proposes Tax Boost for Wealthy”. This is news? You could replace “Lieberman” with virtually every Democrat politician in Washington, D.C. and it would be true.

The article says that Joe is “hoping to jump-start his presidential campaign” with this allegedly “fresh attack on White House policy”. It’s about as stale as you can get, and the folks who will be energized by it are those who have declared war on those who make more money than they do. The same policies appealing to the same envious contingent. >yawn<
