4. Moving from top rate of 35% to 39% is NOT economic populism
And that is not even considering the many many loopholes. Heck, even the Kerry family only paid something like 5-10% tax on their multimillion dollar income last year. Anytime you live in a country where any zillionaire pays 5-10% income tax, that is NOT, in any way shape or form, an economic populist country. And raising that rate 4% does not even come close to making it economic populist.

Now, your post implies that Kerry is an economic populist. PLease explain to me how you justify that!
