Members of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus may tout their commitment to

Ben Franklin's essay, "On the Price of Corn and the Management of the Poor,"
directly responds to President Obama's jobs proposals. And indeed, it
nearly encapsulates the entire message we conservatives have for our
president on the matter of taxing the wealthy and addressing poverty.
Suffice it to say, Benjamin Franklin would have been among the vilified rich
today. He was a private landowner who wanted the British government to
