Opinion
Conservatives just want a turn
If there’s one thing liberal pundits are experts on these days it’s the sorry state of conservatism. The airwaves and op-ed pages brim with more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger lamentations on the GOP’s failure to get with President Obama’s program, the party’s inevitable demographic demise and its thralldom to the demonic deities of the right — Limbaugh, Beck, Palin.

Republican leaders in Alabama want people to focus on the tangible effects of the state's low-tax mentality. Low taxes mean more incoming industries, jobs and prosperity. Tell that to a poverty-stricken family whose state income taxes are high because they happen to live in Alabama, which taxes low-income families at a higher rate than any other state.

Daniel Moore makes money because the University of Alabama's football team wins games. Popularity breeds prosperity. That connection is clear. It takes no lawsuit to establish such logic.
