From Sherman Frederick’s March 1st column in the Las Vegas Review-Journal…
"Wealth-sharing is the new ticket. It is, as Oscar winner Sean Penn might say, ‘elegant’. And all the rage in Europe. But you'll excuse me if I don't obediently take my place at this kooky séance table. I don't think the spirit of FDR is worth conjuring, other than to learn how to prolong a recession.
“To fix the woes "inherited" from President Bush, we must now engage in a wilder form of federal deficit spending? It's a rationalization akin to an alcoholic celebrating the first day of a sober life at the Glenfiddich distillery.
“Look, all good Americans believe in giving everyone a fair shot. Social conservatives, however, really believe in creating fair opportunities, not outcomes. It's not about giving people somebody else's fish. It's about teaching, sharing and celebrating the joy of fishing, not to mention equal access to the good fishing holes. No one will starve. But some will do it better. That's American.
“Asking Americans to give up capitalism temporarily for a form of socialism is like ordering a Catholic to give up Christianity for Lent.”
