revealing quote ...

Pappy And James Taranto:


An Associated Press dispatch about California's budget dispute contains one of the most revealing quotes we've seen in a long time, from the head of the California Federation of Teachers:

"Our polling shows us clearly that this is a winner, that very high numbers of the public and likely voters agree that the wealthiest Californians should contribute more," said Fred Glass, the federation's communications director. "I think there's a growing recognition that it's not that California's broke. We have plenty of money in this state; it's just in other pockets."

It's like when Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks and said, "That's where the money is."

And have they thought to consider WTF they're going to do when all those pockets leave the state? Oh yeah, it'll be someone elses problem then.

Do they think they can rob the same pockets two years in a row?

Larry Gatlin sang, "All the gold in California is in a bank in Beverley Hills in somebody else's name." It's time to move it offshore because the looters are coming.
