Michelle Malkin reprints a Heritage Foundation graph showing which recipients of federal money would be subject to TCM’’s bank tax and which ones wouldn’t – and the correlation between that and which organizations have been paying back their bailout largesse. It’s not the same group of recipients.

His latest web ad is only 31 seconds long, but that’s plenty of time to let you know how we could solve our economic mess pronto. He didn’t write the message he speaks, as you’ll see. It comes from the last Democrat president who wasn’t a Freedom-Hater.

San Fran Nan wants to see a tax on investment transactions. Not only that, she wants it to be “global,” so there’s no escaping it by conducting your sale or purchase overseas.
Any politician running for Congress in 2010 who doesn’t understand that this is war – currently being waged in an orderly, civil, Constitutional way (at least on our side), but war no less than if high-powered rifles, artillery shells and bunker busters were being employed – must get zero support.

Great essay at City Journal by Steven Malanga on the set of virtues that made America the world’s premier economic giant – and a look at their steady erosion since the 1960s.
Two of the money lines come from others whom he quotes. Sociologist Max Weber: “Unlimited greed for gain is not in the least identical with capitalism, and still less its spirit.” Daniel Bell says that what went wrong was that we began “to substitute for religion or morality an aesthetic justification for life.”

In her column today, Diana West very effectively ties together several recent sociocultural developments and show how they spell “The Death of the Grownup.” She’s covering much the same ground that the always-marvelous Joseph Epstein did in a 2004 essay for The Weekly Standard called “The Perpetual Adolescent“, but these new observations of hers add substantive elements to the argument.
