Israel Goes Gaza! (Again)
Here’s a bit of good news in an otherwise “bad-news-always” scenario. Before I could even fire off an article about the New and Improved! Israel/Palestine battle, a cease-fire has apparently been declared. Reportedly Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s new president helped usher in the agreement before the media called it a day. Hillary Clinton is also heading [...]
Room To Master Debate: Tax The Billionaires 2: Revenge of the Billio’s
(This is a continuation of my long, rambling post from yesterday) Now the biggest problem with taxing billionaires is in how to make it effective.
