By Robert Reich — As we go into the final days of a dismal presidential campaign where too many issues have been fudged or eluded, the biggest issue on which the candidates have given us the clearest choice is whether the rich should pay more in taxes.

By E.J. Dionne, Jr. — If conservatism were winning, does anyone doubt that Romney would be running as a conservative? Yet unlike Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, Romney is offering an echo, not a choice. His strategy at the end is to try to sneak into the White House on a chorus of me-too’s.

By Robert Reich — The third and last presidential debate was a clear win for the President. He displayed the authority of the nation’s Commander-in-Chief – calm, dignified, and confident. He was assertive without being shrill, clear without being condescending. He explained to a clueless Mitt Romney the way the world actually works.
