Louisville Courier-Journal, after suggesting that the electorate rilly-rilly-rilllly wanting something to be true will make it so,* whines about "...centrist 'Blue Dog' Democrats, who seem unable to muster the spine to pay for health care reform with even so innocuous a measure as higher taxes on the richest 1 percent of Americans." Yes, what could possibly be more innocuous than a tax increase on the group best situated to ensure it (and then some!) gets passed down to all the rest of us in the form of higher prices on everything we buy from companies controlled by the richest one percent of Americans. Companies owning things like, oh hully gee, Wal-Mart. Or newspapers.
Morons.
Go, Blue Dogs, go! I'm countin' on you.
