“On “Your World with Neil Cavuto” Tuesday, Ben Stein complained about recent remarks by Hillary Clinton about the cards being “stacked” against poor people, saying that she really means “she’s going to stick it to the rich.”

He claimed that “there’s never been a time in history when the poor were made rich by making the rich poor” — which, even he would confess, is not what Clinton is planning to do. He is, however, in favor “of there being more well-to-do people” in America.

While that is a sensible position, given the increasingly lack of social mobility in America, it’s unclear what mechanism Stein would advocate for creating a society in which there are more well-to-do people.”
