  As Utah legislators lurch toward an overhaul of the state tax code next week, they are looking a little lonely.While there have been a parade of voices pointing out flaws in their tax plan, there have been scarcely few people who have spoken up in favor. Even among Republican legislators there is hesitancy.In fact, to the extent there is a consensus in this state, it’s one that opposes this plan.That is not entirely surprising.

  In last Sunday’s column, I argued that Democrats looking for someone to unify their fractious coalition should take another glance at Bernie Sanders — on the grounds that he’s more popular across the party’s different factions, more unifying, more exciting and more potentially appealing to non-liberals than his critics tend to assume.There was one point I gestured at but didn’t stress, which is that in nominating Bernie, the Democrats would be embracing one of the k

It was the first game I’d ever worked.The pre-kickoff hours came and went without incident, other than the one passenger who got in the back seat toting what I’m pretty sure was a bong. Through a cloud of smoke, he claimed he was a scientist, but unless he was researching how to bring a bong in an Uber, I’m not sure I believed him.Wh

  Many fail to realize that our society has entered one of the most delicate periods of the holiday season. Namely, how to successfully hint at what you want for Christmas.By definition, a hint is intended to give the purchasing parties the notion that somehow what they get for you is entirely their idea.It has to be done subtlety. If your significant other is a practical person, just blurting out what you want only complicates the matter. That person will start with the questions.The first Christ

  One concept of fairness is, “If you use it, pay the taxes.” If you eat, pay the sales tax on food. If you have five kids, pay the taxes to educate them.A different concept says taxes should be paid by those most able to afford them. Fairness is derived from the fact that those who have the most generally benefit the most from the services those taxes provide. For example, an educated workforce is essential to big business.Long-standing law has always supported government’s abil
