Debt deal: anger and deceit has led the US into a billionaires' coup. There are two ways of cutting a deficit: raising taxes or reducing spending.

Debt deal: anger and deceit has led the US into a billionaires' coup

Raising taxes means taking money from the rich. Cutting spending means taking money from the poor. Not in all cases of course: some taxation is regressive; some state spending takes money from ordinary citizens and gives it to banks, arms companies, oil barons and farmers. But in most cases the state transfers wealth from rich to poor, while tax cuts shift it from poor to rich.

Tea party to GOP: We could make 'examples' of you over debt ceiling. Tea party activists are closely watching the talks over raising the debt ceiling and putting the squeeze on moderate Republicans.

The wrong John Wayne

Michele Bachmann kicked off her presidential campaign on Monday in Waterloo, Iowa, and in one interview surrounding the official event she promised to mimic the spirit of Waterloo’s own John Wayne. The only problem, as one eagle-eyed reader notes: Waterloo’s John Wayne was not the beloved movie star, but rather John Wayne Gacy, the serial killer. Mrs. Bachmann grew up in Waterloo, and used the town as the backdrop for her campaign announcement, where she told Fox News: “Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa.

That’s the kind of spirit that I have, too.” John Wayne, the movie legend, is in fact from Iowa and the John Wayne birthplace is a celebrated landmark — only it’s in Winterset, which is a nearly three hour drive away from Waterloo.
