Maybe he’s trying to improve his legacy

If accurate, this may be the single most incredible quote I’ve ever seen.

“I would not have voted for [President Bush’s] tax cut, based on what I know…. There is no doubt that the people at the top who need a tax break the least will get the most benefit…. Too often presidents do things that don’t end up helping the people they should be helping, and their staffs won’t tell them their actions stink on ice.”

So, any guesses on which radical left-wing Dem would engage in such blatant class warfare?

It was — I hope you’re sitting down — former senator Jesse Helms (R-N.C.), in a recent interview with Business North Carolina magazine. I know; I couldn’t believe it either.
