C-J profiles Bruce Lunsford

Today's Courier-Journal contains a profile on Democratic Senate candidate Bruce Lunsford. Here's an excerpt:

Lunsford is rich but says government has catered too much to his kind.

"Mitch McConnell believes that if you take care of the wealthy, they will take care of everybody else," Lunsford said. "I believe if you take care of everybody else, they will take care of the wealthy."

He blames the current economic crisis in part on the costs of the war in Iraq and on tax cuts for the "ultra-wealthy."
