Friday, January 24, 2003Don't have much time for a full Fisking, but aside from his comparisons of Bush's actions to the Confederacy, Stalin and Hitler (Bush is just soooooo inconsistent, one day he's a fascist the next he's a communist...so frustrating), Robeson made this suggestion,"He highlighted the need for economic justice in the United States, and instead of reparations to the black community, Robeson suggested spending "hundreds of billions of dollars" elevating the income of every American who made less than the median income." We sort of tried this, it was called welfare. It didn't work. Beyond that, doesn't raising everyone to the median just move the median higher (remember though that the median is not the mean)? Also, glad to see that he rules out a civil war to fix our problems. At least he's not being TOO crazy. Posted by Ryan at 1:28 PM Comments Post a Comment (we enforce our comments policy) |
