Minnesota

So much going on at TED — just no time to write about.

So in the meantime:

THE MINNESOTA EXPERIMENT

“This Billionaire Governor Taxed the Rich and Increased the Minimum Wage — Now, His State’s Economy Is One of the Best in the Country.”  Spread the word: middle-class economics works.  And winds up enriching everybody!  (Did the rich do better under Clinton, who raised taxes on the rich and the minimum wage, or Bush, who slashed taxes onthe rich and froze the minimum wage?   Hint: the stock market soared tripled under Clinton, cratered under Bush.  Obama, too, raised tax rates on the rich — yet the the stock market has again tripled.)

Check it out.

Quote of the Day

"It's unbelievable what happened, said Jack Brod, who has operated Empire Diamond and Gold Co. in New York's Empire State building for over 50 years. When gold was over $700 an ounce and silver over $40 everybody wanted to buy it. Today nobody does."
