If I Wanted America To Fail
A provocative new video from the folks over at Americans for Limited Government promoting a new project focused on economic liberty and free market policies. It’s very well done, if perhaps a little on the long side. Watch video here

"Let's do the math. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates this new
['Buffett Rule'] tax would yield between $4 billion and $5 billion a year. If we collect
the Buffett tax for the next 250 years -- a span longer than the life of this republic -- it
would not cover the Obama deficit for 2011 alone. As an approach to our mountain
of debt, the Buffett Rule is a farce. And yet Obama repeated the ridiculous claim
again this week. 'It will help us close our deficit.' Does he really think we're that
stupid? Hence the fallback: The Buffett Rule is a first step in tax reform. On the
contrary. It's a substitute for tax reform, an evasion of tax reform. In three years,
Obama hasn't touched tax (or, for that matter, entitlement) reform, and clearly has no intention to. The Buffett Rule is nothing but a form of redistributionism that has vanishingly little to do with debt reduction and everything to do with re-election. ...
For Obama, fairness is the supreme social value. And fairness is what he is running
on -- although he is not prepared to come clean on its price. Or even acknowledge
that there is a price. Instead, Obama throws in a free economic lunch for all. 'This
is not just about fairness,' he insisted on Wednesday. 'This is also about growth.' ...
Three years ago, Obama promised universal health care that saves money.
Today, he offers a capital gains tax hike that spurs economic growth. This is
 free-lunch egalitarianism." --columnist Charles Krauthammer

Will Obama's free-lunch rhetoric win him the next election?
