Politicians exploiting the ignorant. Presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, along with President Obama, say they want high-income earners, otherwise known as the rich, to pay their fair share of income taxes. None of these people, as well as the uninformed in the media and our campus intellectual elites, will say precisely ... MOREJacob Sullum: The Puzzling Persistence Of Pee Tests
