Fact Check: Trump Says Clinton Will Raise Middle-Class Taxes
"She's raising your taxes really high. She is raising your taxes and I'm lowering your taxes. That in itself is a big difference," Donald Trump says in second presidential debate w/ Hillary Clinton. Clinton says "nobody who makes less than 250K a year... will have their taxes raised." NOTE: Clinton hasn't proposed an income-tax rate cut for the middle-class, though she has proposed benefit programs and tax breaks that would help such families with the costs of education, child care and caring fo
Trump Wins
(John Hinderaker) Some of the rats might want to consider returning to the ship. Donald Trump came through pretty well tonight, mainly because the focus was on the issues. As long as issues are being discussed, Trump wins. The moderators came out of the box with questions about Trump's 2005 video, which many people expected to be the centerpiece of tonight's debate. The effort flopped, I thought. Bill and Hillary Clinton took

He pushed back against the moderators—who were hopelessly biased; who managed to confirm every fear and hatred that the average GOP voter has about MSM types—and did a good job of highlighting the absurdity of Anderson and Martha's behavior.

What If?
(Steven Hayward) I started noodling on a few "What if" thoughts about this long election cycle the other day, but the one on my mind this afternoon is this: What if the electoral college actually worked the way the framers intended—as a gathering of eminent citizens who would pick a good man to be president, rather than a Byzantine mechanism merely for channeling a popular majority? Remember, in most states you aren't

There is no denying that the U.S. and Canada have been losing jobs to offshore competition for almost half a century. From 2000-2010 alone, 5.6 million jobs disappeared. Interestingly, though, only 13 percent of those jobs were lost due to international trade; 85 percent of job losses stemmed from "productivity growth" — another way of saying machines replacing human workers.
