Victor Davis Hanson talks about the forgotten Americans, people who take on mortgages they can afford, don’t borrow against the value of their houses, don’t go deeply into debt to buy cars, boats, vacation houses, etc., and, in short, live their lives responsibly. These are the people Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want to tax to bail out those who are in some cases unlucky but in many more cases irresponsible.
I don’t know how many forgotten Americans there are out there, but I have a feeling the answer may well determine the next election.
It looks like the forgotten Americans will be getting a nice tax hike if the Democrats get their way.
