I wish the major news outlets would devote time to explaining and comparing the proposals in enough detail to make the benefits clear.

Especially appropriate today, on the day when red don let the cat out of the bag re plans to cut SS and Medicare if he gets re-installed for another term.

The title is "The Triumph of Injustice: How the Rich Dodge Taxes and How to Make Them Pay," and I strongly recommend everyone read it.
