I love Victor Davis Hanson's writing.
From his column this week, a trenchant observation:
You can scream at, tax, regulate, and berate an employer, but you cannot force him, not yet anyway, to go out and hire and buy new equipment. Obama tried all that and almost single-handedly has ensured that a weak recovery of June 2009 would become a permanent weaker recovery. All the one-percent rhetoric — fat cat, pay your fair share, corporate jet owners, now is not the time to profit, spread the wealth, redistribution, you didn’t build that — did was to terrify the private sector, flush with savings, into paralysis.
The false accusation that it is the 1 percent that is holding the country back does nothing to advance us (or even to help those who are literally starving for work. When a government forces employers to do things, the result is famine (Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba.)
What gets left on the edit room floor? Here are some clips from recent 60min interviews w/ both Romney and Obama. http://www.cbsnews.com/8334-504803_162-57518524-10391709/unaired-excerpts-from-the-obama-romney-interviews
