Defending The American Dream Summit: Sam Brownback
Sam Brownback is a dry man. Not quite humorless, but very bland. Milquetoast even. I think the fact that he’s so religious is what makes me want to compare him to those tasteless wafers I used to eat for communion at church back when I used to go with my parents.
Brownback came out and said the appropriate things about limiting government, cutting spending and cutting taxes – and I’m sure he’s got a few interesting ideas about those things (his talk of something called an optional flat tax caught my attention) – but he’s ultimately such a bland guy that I just can’t quite bring myself to care about much of anything he says.
