Ben Stein said we need ot raise taxes on the wealthy.
BS was on CBS's Sunday Morning and speculated about N.Korea attacking S.Korea, China attacking Taiwan, and Iran attacking Saudi arabia. He said short of a nuclear strike, we have only enough troops to hold our own in guerilla warfare in Iraq, so we need more funding for defense. He proposed raising taxes on those who can afford it most, and said cutting the taxes diring war time was a huge mistake.

I wonder if BS can get through to these idiots?

3. Raise taxes by how much? FDR taxed the wealthiest 93% during
...WW2. I think something similar would be appropriate now.
