He's counting on you to be stupid - today's edition

The MEC's tax-policy announcement yesterday was a real gem of disingenuousness.   He knows it isn't some nice clean line of demarcation between the folks down the block and the muckety-mucks.  He knows it doesn't do diddly to reduce the deficit.  He knows it will put a further damper on hiring.  And he knows it's naked class envy.  But he's appealing to the most vulgar and juvenile aspects of the human character, which is all he has left.
