Message: From GoLocalProv by Aaron M. Renn, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: I’ll admit it. I love Rolling Stone columnist Matt Taibbi. He never fails to entertain and often makes some good points. But his hit job on Rhode Island’s pension reform – and state treasurer Gina Raimondo, its architect – was profoundly deceptive. In it Taibbi tries to discredit the need for pension reform by paint reformers as Wall Street puppets out to steal from poor workers by taking their pensions and handing them over to hedge fund magnates. But all he provides to back that up is innuendo, not evidence. (Full disclosure: I have done freelance writing for the Manhattan Institute, which Taibbi criticizes, though this response is purely my own). http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/matt-taibbis-deceptive-hatchet-job-on-gina-raimondo
