Leaving the Rich Alone
Can rich people catch a break? Here we have the spectacle of a war profiteer throwing a birthday bash for his sweet daughter--employing some of the most famous names in rock to do it--and suddenly the liberals are up in arms.
We say let the rich be. If the government doesn't catch you manufacturing a defective product until a few soldiers die, well, buyer beware. It's David Brook's money (via the taxpayers and the Pentagon). So he can blow it buying a few washed-up rock stars (and a drunk rapper) to serenade his daughter. Everyone, after all, buys defective product now and then.
