From a reader:
I read the email you posted in The Corner in reaction to your column about
Big Ideas. The author really makes your point. His entire enumeration of
“ideas” amounts to nothing more than opposition to anything initiated by
President Bush. And since the poor, by definition, don’t have much of
anything it’s kind of comical to talk about “Big Takeaways from the poor…”
Of course, the sad truth is that most of the Left’s Big Ideas have already
become part of conventional political wisdom (Social Security, Socialized
Medicine for the poor and elderly, “prevailing wage” laws, and so on).
