By: Jim Messina Campaign Manager Obama for America This morning, the President proposed the "Buffett Rule," which would require those earning more than $1 million a year to pay the same share of their income in taxes as middle-class families do. This proposal makes sure millionaires and billionaires share…
Living in the inner-city will suck the joy out of life if you have the misfortune to live there. Who wouldn’t be depressed about being surrounded by ignorant male youth lounging aimlessly on the corners bragging about the women they used to have, foul-mouthed, uncouth young women fighting over…
By Jim Hoover Commercial banks normally provide important services as financial intermediaries, collecting funds for safe, liquid and secure investment opportunities.
