The Rich Should Pay More
Here’s an idea: why don’t we set it up so that the rich pay more for everything. For example, 10 pounds of potatoes could sell on a sliding scale from $1 up to $10 depending upon your income. This idea could be extended to everything. A new car could go for $10,000 up to $100,000 […]
Tax “Cut” Doublespeak

Ford defined the criteria for impeachment: “an impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers it to be at a given moment in history.” This President is so […]
