Herbert neglects to mention that wealth transfer from the working and middle classes has gone in two directions — up to the rent seekers, and down to the woefully misnamed “underprivileged,” most of whom pay no federal tax at all.
Many years ago when Bob Herbert was at the Daily News he called Ed Meese “a boil on the buttocks of America.” Still one of my favorite lines of all time.
