Hatred Of the Rich
Jonah Goldberg and Ilana Mercer each have excellent pieces on how the left's intense hatred for the successful people in our country clouds their vision of what's good for the nation as a whole. They continue to be adamantly opposed to any kind of tax break for the wealthy, even if the overall benefits accrue to everyone, just out of pure vitriolic spite.
It's sick that our rulers would be so obsessed with this hatred, which is in a way a kind of self loathing since they themselves, with their huge salaries and lucrative perks and side incomes, are in the top income brackets. This attitude borders on mental illness. Keep that in mind when you listen to the sickos rail against Bush's tax cut for the rich, such as described here by William F. Buckley.
