C. Montgomery Burns Award for Best Corporate Scare Tactic

March 26th, 2010


Pete du Pont, yes a member of the du Ponts, clearly knows what the little guy needs. Writing a consistently dishonest op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal with the precious title,"Welcome to Europe," he continues to trot out utterly discredited statistics on the new health care laws. In particular, "a Republican House Ways and Means Committee report estimated that 16,500 IRS agents will be employed to make sure that people sign up--and pay for--the health insurance they will be forced to purchase.."
