Even The WSJ is Infected

Published on September 8, 2010 By Daiwa In Politics

With the confusion virus, that is.

In discussing the Gates Foundation's operations, there was this little jewel:

Pablo Eisenberg of Georgetown University's Center for Public & Nonprofit Leadership said the foundation has a moral obligation to share its decision-making process more broadly as it distributes what is partly taxpayer dollars they saved on taxes by giving the money away.

Technically, it's Pablo Eisenberg who is infected, but the WSJ let this go unchallenged: that money 'saved on taxes' amounts to 'taxpayer dollars'. The twisted logic of elitist entitlement to control OPM is apparently highly infectious.

The WSJ News department is not conservative, just the editorial board is.

And for the record (for the idiot Eisenberg). the money in the foundation has ALREADY been taxed. So none of it is the government's. It is part of the WEALTH of Gates, not the INCOME.
