Editorial on Revenue Sharing and Tax Fairness
The piece argues revenue sharing could make tax burdens more equitable across incomes by reducing reliance on incoherent local state and national tax laws. It notes Census findings that tax rates barely vary with income, critiques Social Security tax hikes, and suggests federal tax shifts could lessen the share paid by lower earners while preserving progressivity. It recognizes philosophical and practical objections but calls revenue sharing the best reform opportunity to date.

Technology could modernize city services, study says

The study urges broader adoption of space-age tech to cut costs and speed urban services.
