Get Ready For GOP Tax 'Reform' In Wisconsin

Oh, boy: Here's a story and headline with an unmistakable signal:

Assembly Republicans aim to reform Wisconsin's tax code

These are the same Walker water carriers who immediately upon his inauguration handed out tax breaks to businesses and high earners, paid for, in part, with a series of tax increases that hit the working poor - - particularly by reducing the value of the Earned Income Tax Credit.

When you see the oxymoronic association of "Republican" and "reform" - - like the mining bill's reform in the name of 'certainty" that overturns environmental protections and allows wetlands filling, or Walker's Act 10 'reforms' - - you know that middle-class citizens are about to get screwed while corporate and upper-income types are looking at private-interest or class-based windfall.
