David Harsanyi Responds To Paul Krugman On Wisconsin

See Harsanyi: Paul Krugman's Third World fantasy from Friday's Denver post. The entire article is very good. Here is the first paragraph and then two really good ones:

"According to Nobel laureate and raconteur Paul Krugman, Gov. Scott Walker and "his backers" are attempting to "make Wisconsin — and eventually, America — less of a functioning democracy and more of a Third World-style oligarchy.""

"The libertarian Kochs are super rich and gave less than $2 million to Republicans in the last election cycle, which mathematically speaking amounts to nothing.
