Okay, so I'm not in the habit of complimenting conservatives so this is a bit new to me. Ross Douthat makes some good points in his column in today's New York Times. Though I rarely, if ever, agree with Mr. Douthat, one positive thing I can say about him is he's not your typical over-the-top flame-throwing conservative. He actually "disagrees without being disagreeable", as President Obama would say.
One nice piece of criticism he levies on Republicans is the following:
"...conservatives need to recognize that the most pernicious sort of redistribution isn’t from the successful to the poor. It’s from savers to speculators, from outsiders to insiders, and from the industrious middle class to the reckless, unproductive rich."
Happy reading!
