Reversal of Fortune

Dooh Nibor Economics

If only you could argue like Paul Krugman does and get away with it, John Kerry. You'd win this election in a walk! Today's Krugman column offers a sound bite that could really resonate with the public--Robin Hood in reverse--if only the Republicans wouldn't cry out, "Class warfare!" However true it may be, you don't often gain points in an election by shouting, "He started it!" Nevertheless, this is a point that needs to be made: the Bush policies pit the rich against the rest and undermine the fiscal and political stability of the country. Deficits as far as the eye can see and a vast class of the citizenry developing a deep (and increasingly warranted) disdain for those who control the machinery of capitalism--what does that sound like a recipe for to you?
