Ever since Joe Ricketts found $10 million to contribute toward racially divisive ads against President Obama, the Cubs have really taken a dive.
It’s also interesting to note that the billionaire — a government-hating, no-tax, GOP supporter — wants $150 million in taxpayer assistance for his kids’ private enterprise so they can rebuild their aging ballpark.
I guess Joe’s political action committee is committed to ending government spending for the poor, the working class and what’s left of the middle class. The tax breaks, subsidies and loopholes for the wealthiest Americans must remain intact. What hypocrisy!
