GOP tries to censor another report they don't like

This one, by the spectacularly nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, makes Swiss Cheese of a cherished GOP article of faith: trickle down economics.
     And, as Rachel Maddow notes, Republicans, uniquely, have a history of disappearing government data they don't like, in this case bullying the CRS into removing the internet posting of the report because of it's "tone," although Congressional Democrats have posted the report on their website, as has Rachel Maddow on hers.
     The Wall Street Journal, now part of the Fox News extended corporate family, predictably called the report a "hit job."
     Rep. Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, wants to know why the report was removed from the CRS web site.
