Ron Johnson, running for senate in the great state of Wisconsin, a
leader in the production of ducks and other fine agricultural products, once
opposed a law that would have allowed abused children to sue malefactors who aided and abetted their abusers through lax or no supervision. Why? Because
it is extremely important to consider the economic havoc and the other victims [the Wisconsin Child Victims Act] would likely create.
See, its not like being a manufacturer and accountant made him hard-hearted, it's just that economic considerations are much more important than justice for victims of sexual and other forms of abuse. Not a bit of it. It was rather
because he
was on the Green Bay Dioceses Finance Council at the time he testified.
And they were being sued because they had aided and abetted a sexual predator. See
also. So independent Conservative Ron Johnson only acts to protect child abusers when it is in serves someone or another's economic interests. Which is very reassuring because senators are never asked to put the narrow economic interests of one or another of their contributors over the broad interests of their constituents. Are they?
