Election Shows the Third Rail Is Dead - I wouldn't go that far. The Left will never cease in their screams of bloody murder against any attempt to reduce the level of government control over our retirement funds.
Democrats Finding Little Common Ground with GOP on Tax Reform - As I've repeatedly warned, too many people use the word "reform" as a synonym for "repair" or "improve" when it really just means to form it again or into something different, such as my infamous analogy of the legislative/digestive process, where an apple pie is reformed into something very different. Those of us who believe in capitalism obviously have a very different concept of what would be an improvement in the current tax system than do those who worship Karl Marx, such as most members of the DemonRat (aka JackAss) Party.
