Krugman has it wrong this time

He asks what Romney has ever done, or proposed to do, to create the level playing field he advocates in his speeches. No need to do anything, this blissful state of affairs already exists, for Romney would surely agree with Anatole France that “The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and the poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread”. How much more level a field could you want?

On the other hand, though it is true that the rich are not allowed under the bridges, unlike the poor, they are allowed to rob banks.
