As Democratic members of the Wisconsin Legislature continue to issue news releases patting each other on the back for their heroic commitment to jobs, jobs, jobs, we note that America’s CEOs are less than impressed.

“I do think, at a certain point, you’ve made enough money.” — President Barack Obama
The president was “off-’prompter” when he uttered that revealing statement during a recent anti-Wall Street rally, but when the POTUS ignores the TOTUS, you know you’re getting the real BHO.
That said, we have a hard time believing that moneyed elites living a leftist la vida loca will wind up on the Obama camarilla’s list of People With Enough Cash. Consider, for example, Al Gore. The yammering high priest of the Cult of Global Warming recently shelled out $8.8 million for a carbon-belching ocean-view villa in California. (Better to keep a rheumy eye on those rising seas, apparently.) The laughable hypocrisy of that purchase aside, one might consider asking the president, “Has carbon mogul Al Gore made enough money?”

Some 15,000 public-sector union members and social-services advocates — apparently unencumbered by job duties — gathered at the Capitol in Springfield in the middle of a work week April 22 to demand a 33 percent increase in the state income tax in order to prevent budget cuts.
