*Fracking brings pollution, not wealth, to Navajo land.*

I am not surprised. Businesses employ negotiators whose job is to make bad deals sound good.

*These 7 ways of taxing the rich would generate more than $6 trillion over 10 years.* In other words, 600 billion or so per year. (Reporting costs and benefits on an annual basis keeps them all comparable.)

Eliminating the "stepped-up cost basis" rule would be entirely justified for billionaires, but if it applies to your parents' apartment you would probably be unable to inherit it.

*Why are desperate refugees turning up on the U.S. border? Because we have offloaded the costs of the drug war on Latin America.*

*55 US Corporate Giants Paid $0 in Federal Taxes in 2020 Thanks to 'Gaping' Loopholes.*

We should fix these loopholes — but also refuse to be manipulated by fandom in businesses such as Nike.

*The Republican Party has no interest in actual governing.* It has no serious proposals, only tactics for fighting the culture war and making elections unfair.
