...herring for the real problem: that the government unjustly subsidizes charitable contributions by the rich. This is because the federal government allows donors to deduct charitable contributions from their taxable income. The rich, who face a 35 percent federal tax on each additional dollar, essentially get a 35 cent tax rebate on every dollar they give to charity. The poor, who face a much lower tax rate, get a much lower rebate for giving to charity. Although the amount that one can deduct is capped, this translates into the government paying for donations made by the rich. This system makes...
Beats from the Streets Kudos for interviewing 50 Cent [Sept. 24.] He's a force of nature. Learning that his nickname is "a metaphor for change" gives me greater respect for him. But I take issue with his claim that Kanye West's music is "aimed at a straight pop audience." West's hip-hop is less gangsta and therefore softer, but it is also more substantive.

It is no secret that Harvard is overrun with communists, hippies, sexual deviants, and Jeffersonian liberals; until the University ceases to tolerate their existence, Harvard shouldn’t receive a red cent from American taxpayers...
...proposed $35 billion SCHIP expansion is being paid for by a 61-cent increase in federal taxes on tobacco products, a move Kuhl and many Republicans oppose as a "tax increase." Adding to Kuhl's woes, Massa accuses him of being in the pocket of big tobacco since he's received $10,000 from Altria and R. J. Reynolds, the two largest U.S. cigarette manufacturers, since 2006, according to Federal Election Commission Records. Kuhl dismissed such accusations with a laugh, saying he isn't even committed to running again yet so the term "opponent" hardly applies to Massa. "I would...
