We Need to Look at Spending
Letter to the Editor: January 21, 2008
So far, my opinion piece discussing a fix to the Alternative Minimum Tax has been met with such derision from the right wing
that I've been called a pick-pocket and a socialist (funny -- I never once advocated government takeover of industry). It's clear

paying little or no income tax by taking advantage of various preferences in the tax code. One major flaw of the

State Children’s Health Insurance Program
Opinion Article, Daily Record: October 2007
The latest battle on Capitol Hill over the reauthorization of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP),
