Biden’s Wealth Tax – More Class Envy Rhetoric By Brain C. Joondeph
President Joe Biden, perhaps looking at the rising budget deficit along with his desire to spend far more money than the U.S. Treasury has in its coffers – not to mention his sinking poll numbers and dim prospects for his party in the November midterm elections – has proposed a wealth tax on the uber rich.

The Politics of the Nation’s Fastest-Growing Counties By Kyle Kondik
Trends help illuminate how their states have changed over the past decade, particularly in Florida and Texas.
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— The U.S. Census Bureau recently reported changes in population from 2020 to 2021.
— While the headline findings mainly dealt with population declines, a number of places (particularly in the Sun Belt) are still experiencing substantial growth.
— A little more than 5 dozen counties with at least 100,000 residents grew by 3% or more from April 2020 to July 2021. These counties are spread across 20 states.
— Almost all of these counties vote Republican for president, although GOP presidential performance has eroded in many of them.
— Nearly half of these counties are in Florida and Texas, and the differing presidential trends in these fast-growing counties help illustrate the changing political trajectory of each state.
