A potential triple benefit.

I’ve heard some Republican pundits praise Michele Bachmann. Because she’s a tax attorney. Educated, they say. Therefore, she should be treated with respect. For her zany political views. Such as her call for dissolving the Environmental Protection Agency. That’s her way to create more jobs. To boost the economy. By polluting everything in sight. Doesn’t matter if we destroy the environment. As long as we put people back to work. But I have a better idea. Let’s label Bachmann as a lunatic fringe crackpot. And instead, let's raise taxes on millionaires and billionaires and corporations to pay for a jobs program. And we could save the environment in the process. That’s what I would call a double benefit. Or maybe even a triple benefit. If one adds getting Bachmann out of Congress to the list of worthy accomplishments. –Jim Broede
