Higher Taxes on the Rich Mean Higher Taxes on the Rest of Us

President Obama repeatedly assures us that he only wants higher taxes on the rich as part of his class-warfare agenda. But I don’t trust him.

The Third and FINAL Debate: Romney Won

-Game The foreign policy debate was not given much chance of being a game changer. No one really thought that a talk about the future of US-Myanmar relations was going to move the needle very much.

Deep Into the Weeds: Notes on a Debate of the Second Class

The old editor was finishing a late supper at the bar of a restaurant near the paper, filling up page after page of a little notebook with scribblings that would prove as incomprehensible in the cold light of morning as they were even then. Much like the One and Only Vice-Presidential Debate of 2012 he [...]

Toward the end of the debate, Biden’s friend and one time houseguest, moderator Martha Raddatz, [...]
