VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: You read that Tom Steyer, the left-wing Stanford-area activist guy who ran for president, who made his fortune funding financing coal plants in Indonesia, says, "I need to be taxed more." He’s worth about three billion.
And then Mitt [Romney] came out. Remember Mitt? Mitt said that he thinks that people should be taxed more, and he wants to pay. No, you’re not a big humanitarian, Mitt. You’re almost worth a billion dollars. |
