What Maryland's cannabis politics reveal, the debate over student resource officers, and how wealthy Americans make money and pay taxes.
| The difference in how the wealthy make money—and pay taxes Most Americans receive almost all their money through wages and retirement income. For the wealthiest, those sources are less important. William G. Gale and Semra Vignaux highlight the low tax rates on investments and businesses and outline four ways to raise taxes on the wealthy without harming economic growth. |
