Lowry: Romney's argument 'flawed & dangerous'

You won't hear (see) me say this often, so get ready: arch-conservative Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, is right.  He's correct.  Take his conclusion:

This tendency [to demand that poor people pay federal income tax] represents a backdoor return to country-club Republicanism, with the approval of part of the Republican base. Fear of the creation of a class of “takers” can slide into disdain for people who are too poor — or have too many kids or are too old — to pay their damn taxes. For a whiff of how politically unattractive this point of view can be, just look at the Romney fundraising video.

Wow.  He actually gets it this time.  No further comment necessary.

Romney’s 47 Percent Blunder 

His tax argument is flawed and dangerous.
