June 30, 2000 Don't look to Wisconsin as model for welfare reformMILWAUKEE -- In the Feb. 6, 2000, Minneapolis Star Tribune, authors John H. Hinderaker and Scott W. Johnson of the Minneapolis-based Center of the American Experiment presented an argument for why Minnesota should adopt the Wisconsin model for welfare reform. If nothing else, their article is a good example of how conservative propagandists falsely define a problem, conjure up racially charged stereotypes, and then offer "solutions" that just happen to benefit private, for-profit corporations.

May 19, 2005 Institute for JusticeA Briefing Paper prepared by A Job is a Right Campaign by Phil WilaytoThe Institute for Justice was founded as a public interest law firm and advocacy group in 1991 by William H. Mellor, former president of the Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy, and Clint Bolick, former director of the Landmark Center for Civil Rights. The Institute "has had an extraordinarily active history in the years since, filing its own lawsuits against government regulations, writing amicus briefs... , sponsoring law student conferences, hosting training seminars for policy activists, forming a Human Action Network of seminar alumni, appearing on ABC's public affairs program '20-20', and defending school choice."

April 30, 1999 The Economic Religion of Michael NovakWealth Creation vs. the GospelThere has been tremendous interest in the March April 1999 issue of the Houston Catholic Worker on Pope John Paul II's condemnation of neoliberalism in Ecclesia in America, not to mention those who were so excited to discover the document itself in all its richness. Most of our readers understood clearly that neoliberalism, the current economic system hurting the people of Latin America so badly (as well as Eastern Europe, Africa and much of Asia) was condemned. But many asked again, what is the exact connection between the Catholic thinkers we mentioned as representative of this neoliberalism? Is neoliberalism really the same as neoconservatism? Some neoconservatives have been trying to disassociate themselves from the word. Recently, Michael Novak came to help dedicate the Business Ethics program of our local Catholic university. One Catholic Worker sarcastically remarked that having Michael Novak, along with heads of oil companies and investment firms, dedicate a Catholic business ethics department and explain ethical business practices is like inviting Hugh Hefner to dedicate an institute on the sacrament of marriage.

May 31, 1997 The Feeding TroughThe Bradley Foundation, "The Bell Curve" & the Real Story Behind W-2: Wisconsin's National Model for Welfare ReformA study by the grassroots organizing group A Job is a Right Campaign has concluded that the Wisconsin welfare reform program known as "W-2" was developed under the guidance of the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation. Bradley is the country's leading ultra-conservative foundation, which, among other things, funded the nortoriously racist book "The Bell Curve", by authors Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein. Murray was actually brought in as a consultant by the task force that developed W-2 for the state of Wisconsin.
