Today’s lead editorial in the Wall Street Journal is a must read. The subject is the astounding tax burden that the socialists who run Congress are eager to impose on what’s left of the productive sector of the country — at the behest, of course, of Obama.

These people don’t have any idea about the damage they’ll do the productivity in the country. It’s like old-time doctors bleeding a patient already weak from some illness. The Journal writers refer to the “reckless disregard for economic and fiscal reality” we’re now witnessing. That’s putting it mildly.
