MARCH 11, 2011 Taxpayers Win in Wisconsin

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704823004576192483295290652.html#

Congratulations to Wisconsin Republicans, who held together this week to pass their government union reforms despite unprecedented acting out by Democrats and their union allies. Three weeks ago we described this battle as a foretaste of Greece come to America, but maybe there's hope for taxpayers after all.

Of course this paper is owned by the Murdochs so we should not be surprised but if you know anyone who has a subscription to this tell them to stop it!

1. WSJ is a corporatist newspaper.

3. You think those union members don't pay taxes, too?

6. That's the WSJ

I actually did subscribe to the Wall St. Journal about 3 years ago, as I enjoyed reading their in-depth coverage of business news. However, their opinion page never failed to make my stomach turn. Six months after Obama became president, I couldn't stand reading their point of view any longer and I cancelled my subsciption...to them, corporations are always GOOD, and the government is always BAD.

I still receive letters from the WSJ asking me to renew my subscription. I always write "OBAMA/BIDEN 2012" on the remittance form in big, dark letters and send it back in the business-reply envelope--which forces THEM to pay for the postage.

8. Heh-heh....

Well, I don't think a postage stamp put too much of dent in Rupert's pocket. But still, it's fun to do and maybe they'll finally stop sending me renewal notices!
