Tax Codes, PowerLine, and the Super Rich
On the topic of how the Cons are working to help the super-rich at the expense of everyone else, the Twin Cities weekly City Pages has a flurry of good articles in their latest issue: Interview with David Cay Johnston on how the US tax code has been warped over the last three decades. PowerLine's Head Blogger types on company time -- but since his day job's with the Very GOP TCF, it really is OK if you're Republican. The Case of the Rolled Newspaper (or how the usually-good StarTribune was made to swallow GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty's budget bull without comment). These are all just the things to print out and leave at the break room table for your co-workers to read. (The Johnston interview is especially recommended, but blog readers will also enjoy the PowerLine piece, and students of how the conservatives have cowed even "liberal" papers should examine the third as well.)
