The article by Charles Krauthammer, "Obama pitches free-lunch egalitarianism," was a masterpiece of writing. His last paragraph gives the clearest and simplest response for those concerned about the folly of the proposed Warren Buffet rule. "The Buffet rule redistributes deck chairs on the Titanic, ostensibly to make more available for those in steerage. Nice idea, but the iceberg cometh." I pray that as a country we will wake up to the fact that demagoguery expressed as fairness is not the answer to our problems.
