Santorum's bright idea: zero tax rate for the super-rich!

As you well know, Rick Santorum has never had an idea.

He relies on financial bag-man and billionaire backer Foster Friess to have the ideas for him.

And Foster's come up with a good one!

Countering the tide of socialist billionaires like Gates and Buffet who have been clamoring for higher taxes on themselves, Friess proposes a zero tax rate for the super-rich!

In an interview with Bloomberg Friess says rich people are far better qualified to decide where to spend their money than is the government. They would fund performing arts centers and art galleries and high-end medical research all over the place if the government wasn't constantly robbing them of 15% of their income and wasting it on lazy people.

Friessen is an old-school Bible-thumper who claims not to have any ideas. Rather, he is a conduit for God's ideas.

So really, it's not Santorum's idea, it's not Friess' idea, the zero-tax rate idea comes directly from Jehova.

And it's certainly not as if Jehova just came up with it.

A few years ago one of His other spokespeople on earth, Imelda Marcos, exclaimed "thank God there are so many poor people in the world; it means there will always be opportunities for the rich to do good deeds!"
