One of the favorite tactics of Democrats is to demand to be allowed to do something, and then, once they’ve done it and it didn’t work, pretend they never got to do it and insist the solution is to do the dumb thing they already did.
Remember the conversation in 2008 between then-Sen. Barack Obama and Joe the Plumber? Joe tried to explain to Obama how his tax increases would negative affect a small business like his. Obama’s response was, “When you spread the wealth around, that’s good for everybody.”
That’s worth remembering in 2016, because look what Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine keep insisting we need to do: Spread the wealth around. If only the wealthy paid their fair share, they insist, we could spread the wealth around to everyone and things would be much better.
