• Is Obama's tax plan socialistic? McCain says so here. Charges of socialism may be hyperbole, but consider this: I define a tax cut as meaning that you get to keep more of your own money. Obama, on the other hand, sends everybody (except those making over $200,000) a check, including those who do not pay any income taxes.
• The Wall Street Journal, in another piece here, explores the folly of blaming the financial crisis on deregulation.
• McCain wants to end employment-based health insurance? I certainly hope so. In this article Jeff Jacoby explains here some of the faults of the current system. I hope at some point soon to discuss health policy in more depth.
