Harold Meyerson writes:
The Republican ticket may hail from Massachusetts and Wisconsin, but Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan head the most Southernized major U.S. political party since Jefferson Davis’s day. In its hostility toward minorities, exploitation of racism, antipathy toward government and suspicion of science, today’s Republican Party represents the worst traditions of the...

The Right-Wing Attack on the Constitution
Written by Samuel Warde | June 14, 2012 | 2

What kind of...

To Ease the Crisis, Tax Financial Transactions →
Indeed, a tax of just 0.05 percent levied on each stock, bond, derivative or currency transaction would be aimed at financial institutions’ casino-style trading, which helped precipitate the economic crisis.
