Never has the expression "What planet are these people from?" seemed more appropriate than when it refers to the actions of the majority of Democrats in the House of Representatives this week on the proposed tax bill compromise. In the real world, their choice is that they either vote for the compromise, which means no one will suffer a tax increase as of Jan. 1, or that everyone will have a huge tax increase. Also, the lowest wage earners will see a 50 percent jump in their tax rates, from 10 percent to 15 percent. The main point of the House Democrats' pique is that some "rich" Americans may be able to avoid having more than 50 percent of their incomes confiscated by the government and that those people's heirs may not have to pay a 55 percent tax on their inheritance if the compromis...

Eric Wadley wonders why Barack Obama's message is so off-putting to members of the LDS Church ("Obama should appeal to LDS," Readers' Forum, June 5). While John McCain is certainly not my first choice, . He is the most liberal senator in Congress. Under Obama, your income taxes would increase a full 24 percent. Capital gains tax would increase from 15 percent to 24 percent. Dividend taxes would increase from 15 percent to 39 percent! Obama would also reinstitute the inheritance tax. Obama is also proposing the following new taxes: new government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2,400 square feet; new gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already); new taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity); new taxes on retireme...

WASHINGTON - With 14 million Americans out of work, it's little wonder that everyone hoping to occupy the White House in 2013 - including the current president - is peddling ideas to create jobs and spur economic growth. Mitt Romney's 59-point plan is by far the most comprehensive and detailed in the Republican field, touching on everything from tax, trade and deregulation to retraining for jobseekers. Texas Gov. Rick Perry's ideas focus on expanding domestic oil and gas production. Herman Cain's remedy hinges on a tax overhaul he calls the 9-9-9 plan.

A new tone in the approaching election year echoes the spirit of Robin Hood, the legendary English archer who robbed the rich to give to the poor. This time it is taxes, not robbery, but the principle is the same. Among the latest indicators was President Barack Obama's populist call for a level economic playing field in a speech in a Kansas high school gym. He referred repeatedly to Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech, also in Osawatomie, pressing his unsuccessful presidential bid through his Bull Moose Party. Roosevelt urged "a graduated income tax on big fortunes" and a graduated inheritance tax, "increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate." In an earlier speech, he had coined the epithet "malefactors of great wealth.

CHICAGO -- The new tax bill that President Obama signed Friday will save every American from a number of tax increases that would have begun Jan. 1 and will add more than a year of benefits for those who are long-term unemployed. But there are plenty of other tax perks in the bill, most of which extend breaks in place. Here's a rundown:

The Illinois Senator's best-selling book could be making a way for "Run, Obama, Run!" By Renee Ferguson The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream * by Barack Obama * Crown, October 2006 * $25, ISBN 0-307-23769-9 Fast forward to August 2006 and a snapshot of the Obama family lineage: This portrait was taken on African soil, with Obama's Kenyan grandmother. In his first book, the coming-of-age memoir Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance (Three Rivers Press, 2004), we meet Obama the child seeking the meaning of his multiracial life in a racially narrow world. The Audacity of Hope takes us beyond the made-for-TV script of Obama's personal journey from his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia, nudging us with anecdote, emotion and elegan...

WASHINGTON - The Republican agenda for the new Congress that convenes Wednesday may have a greater impact on the 2012 elections than on the lives of Americans in the next two years. Republicans promise to cut spending, roll back President Obama's health-care overhaul and prevent unelected bureaucrats from expanding the government's role in society through regulations that tell people what they must or can't do. Getting this agenda through the House may be easier than in the Senate, given the GOP's 241-194 majority in the House. Getting the Senate to act will be a challenge. Democrats still hold an edge there, though smaller than the one Obama had during his first two years in the White House.
