Quote of the Day I

P. J. O'Rourke, writing in the Weekly Standard, has the quote of the day:

The good news is that, according to the Obama administration, the rich will pay for everything.

The bad news is that, according to the Obama administration, you're rich.

How do you know if you're rich? According to O'Rourke, anybody with a job is considered "rich."
Take this simple test: See if you pay double for everything. The financial bailout, for example. Pay for it once with your IRA and 401(k) plan investments. Now pay for it again with your tax dollars.
He gives plenty more examples that will evoke grudging groans, go read it for yourself.
