“It’s the kind of news that should have caused a political earthquake.”
That’s how Rush Limbaugh led off a five-minute,
full-throated endorsement of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s
announcement that with unemployment in the state dropping he wants to cut income
and property taxes to return a state budget surplus to Badger State taxpayers –
to the people who earned the money in the first place.
Instead, the news about deep-blue Wisconsin’s turnaround under a Republican
governor got virtually no attention outside of Wisconsin, Limbaugh said. The
mainstream media, he said — the networks, cable, The New York Times, the
Washington Post — don’t consider it newsworthy, or don’t want to draw attention
to it.
But it’s a lesson for conservatives around the country: Conservative
principles can work.
“For us as conservatives, Wisconsin and Governor Walker, everything that we
want to happen happened here,” Limbaugh said. “We want somebody who believes in
conservatism and can articulate it, who gets elected on that basis and then
implements it.
“Everything that we are demanding as voters, everything that you demand as
tea party members are demanding, Scott Walker did!”

It doesn't fit the liberal agenda of wealth redistribution. Instead, it's about returning wealth to it's rightful owners.
That is exactly right, David! :)
