Pledge Politics Exposed, Part II
In New Hampshire, over eight cents of every dollar earned by our poorest citizens goes to the state. The richest one percent of us gives two cents. (The tea party people, undoubtedly almost all of whom do not belong to the richest one percent, appear unconcerned with this.) In New Hampshire, House Bill 642 (h/t NHFlatlander) would have addressed this gross inequity in the way we fund our state by reducing taxes for the bottom 80% of earners and raisi

We Know Where Jeanne Shaheen Stands
There was an odd editorial in the UL today claiming that Senator Shaheen has not disclosed where she stands on health insurance reform, other than her vote to move the senate bill forward for debate. http://www.unionleader.com/art... Have they not been paying attention?

Studies Show Tax Caps Help the Rich
Two studies, one supported, in part, by the Social Security Administration and the other put out by The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy show that after thirty one years, beginning with California's Proposition 13, that these cuts and caps have benefited the wealthy at the expense of middle and low income Americans.

When Your FRIEND Is Committing Political Suicide??
The ancient rule of politics is, "When your enemy is committing suicide, don't get in the way." Piling on can only make you look bad without leaving the opponent any more doomed. That provides no help in figuring this one out. Tuesday, the orchestrated leaks tell us, President Obama will announce that he intends to push for a major escalation in the Afghanistan War. The number that is floated seems to be about 34,000 new additional troops, at a ten-year cost of some 340 billion dollars. That is probably enough to starve domestic programs of funding. Any proposals to strengthen the financial base for Medicare and Social Security will be much more difficult in the face of e
