My friend BK (whose post recently appeared here, and who really should start her own blog) spent the day compiling some interesting links, so I’m going to share them with you.
- Tax changes have largely benefited the wealthy
- Class warfare is a crusade
- Income vs net worth
- And now for something completely different – a SOPA explainer
I have some to add to these, hopefully I’ll have a chance to do so later tonight.
UPDATED: I missed this one from Paul Krugman, on the history of the cap gains tax
If I had your intelligence, your ability to conceptualize complex issues from a multifocal lens, and your capacity to formulate your thoughts on paper succinctly and fully supported with thorough evidence….I’d take you up on that offer to start a blog. Until then, i’ll continue to stalk yours daily while commenting here and there. I’ll also try to cut down on how much craziness I spread through Facebook. I took a week long hiatus already…guess today’s rants were bottled up. Thanks for the continued support and advice! I should’ve found a way to hang out with you more at Clemson…lol, this is all delayed!
I think you do! Honestly I mostly just quote someone else, toss in a relevant data point or two, make a bad joke, then call Newt Gingrich an idiot. And I didnt suggest that you start a blog to get you to put less on facebook, I suggested it to get you to write more! I enjoy reading it. And yes, we should definitely have done that.
