Ben Stein is at it again

Not content with mangling basic science and history, MediaMatters points out that Stein is misrepresenting Barack Obama's tax plan:

On Fox & Friends, Ben Stein misrepresented Sen. Barack Obama's tax plan to raise the capital gains tax rate on the wealthiest earners, stating: "[P]eople that have incomes in the five digits ... that's crazy to increase their capital gains tax." In fact, Obama has said he would not raise the capital gains tax on individuals with income of less than $250,000.

Stein writes about economics for the New York Times, and is the author of How to Ruin Your Financial Life.
