Today comes word that His Majesty is considering a plan for the federal government to make mortgage payments for homeowners who can't afford their payments (or, alternatively, a possible "rental option" under which some such homeowners would turn over ownership -- presumably to the federal government -- and start paying rent). "As a part of this plan, jobless borrowers would cannot keep up with their home loans might receive a housing stipend along with regular unemployment benefits."
Meantime, the proposed health care reform bill unveiled by House dems today will include a surtax on millionaires of 5.4%, which is 3% higher than the surtax previously discussed by the dems. And apparently only members of the upper class (those making more than $350,000 annually) will be paying any surtaxes under the dems' bill.
I will give Majesty credit for one thing: When he says "redistribution of wealth," by God he means it. And to think that I used to scoff at all the right-wingers who called Majesty a socialist. Them days be over.
