Taxes, Fascists & Foreign Policy

I saw a vehicle the other day sporting two bumper stickers.  The first read, Harris-Walz; the second, Everyone Must Pay Their Fair Share.  The owner of the vehicle was obviously a democrat evinced by their inability to examine an issue in depth or to get beyond the...

Leadership isn’t a communal activity
