Newt Gingrich made waves on ABC's "This Week" talk show this morning. Asked about the McCutcheon decision, he said he favored removing all limits on campaign contributions, period.
"Then overnight you will equalize the middle class and the rich."
I didn't see the program but only the video excerpt online, so I don't know whether anyone followed up to ask him to explain what he meant. But, on the face of it, it seems like an interation of Newt's signature sound bite, aimed to shock.
Bill Crystal, another neocon who has become famous for always being wrong, chimed in and said that a lot of rich people hate this decision, because now they're going to have to give more money. Before, they could say, "Sorry, I've maxed out."
Well, boo hoo, what a terrible problem to have. Let's all feel sorry for the rich folks who are so put upon and have a hard time saying no. Too bad they find it so easy to say no to all the social safety net programs that help people out of poverty.
