Supreme Court Gibberish

I'm watching a show on PBS about the Supreme Court. They're talking about Justice Field, and his opposition to the Income Tax. To paraphrase one of the commentators, "Field saw the Income Tax as the thin wedge of communism, and that if it was instituted the country the rsult would be the poor inventing laws to take money from the rich and give it to themselves." She said it in a tone that suggested how crazy this mean old coot was.

Isn't this exactly what happened?

Realith Check is correct. Terrorist attacks on the United States and its interests and its close and nominal allies began when Bush became president. They will end when Bush leaves office. End of story. It's sad that so few Americans have the breadth of knowledge and sense of history to acknowledge this simple fact.

Update: Apparently the poster was attempting to be sarcastic. Still a damn good example of BDS.
