McCain vs. Obama in Taxes in a Format for Maxim Readers

Today I ran across something as great as it is rare. An article on tax policy that you could convince the type of guys whose only reading is Maxim to read. 


Most articles about politics and/or tax policy are either too simplified, too boring or too academic for most people to read. The problem is even more pronounced in libertarian-leaning sources. There is somewhat limited material that falls between someone who can tell you 3 facts about Ron Paul and someone who wants to bicker endlessly about a very minor abstract concept about governmental structure. 

So it is refreshing to have something accessible to the Maxim crowd (complete with eye-candy) so at least a few of them can learn a little bit about what will shape their future. Make no mistake, it's not dumbed down, either. It's simply explained very well. It's brisk, it's informative, and it's well written. What more can you ask for?

I'm sure Maxim is a fantastic resource for men to learn all about politics. Luckily for those of us with two X chromosomes, Glamour has a political blog that I find to be well written and fairly thought provoking. See: http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/blogs/glamocracy/

There is an interesting post (and a few virulent comments) linking to a Washington Post Article on Obama's earmarking history. I agree with some of the comments voiced that earmarks aren't the whole issue (but rather the accuracy of Palin's representation of her own history) but I was a little surprised by the full list of earmarks, which I haven't seen brought up anywhere else in the general election coverage.

Investigative reporting, your name is Glamour!

Ironically enough, the article is by a woman.
