WSJ had a great article today in the opinion section called:
"Deep in the Heart of Taxes"- These days it's hard to distinguish Austin from Albany.
If I had a subscription to the online journal I would post it.
Here is a PDF link to the article...via the great folks at the Texas Public Policy foundation.
They are the Texas version of the Heritage Foundation.
