A DISDAIN FOR CONTRIBUTION: We are still struggling with a readership that values what we do but is, on the whole, looking for any way to avoid contributing financially. No it's not the ten dollars a month. That is for most of our readers easily manageable. Donations will grudgingly be given if the situation appears dire, but only then and reluctantly so. Often with significant resentment. Our overall rate of participation in the funding drives remains illogically poor, based on the enthusiasm the readers show for the content and issues. People seem to accept paying for telecommunication services, internet services and cable entertainment services. Not yet for a news agency that serves the public good. The future of Reader Supported News depends on our ability to change that. We will try. / Marc Ash - Founder, Reader Supported News

But while the White House has said it condemns the use of so-called 'enhanced interrogation techniques' it is steadfastly refusing to prosecute those who ordered the torture or carried it out."

David Sirota, International Business Times
Sirota writes: "In 2012, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed a landmark bill that delivered big tax cuts to high income earners and businesses. Less than two years after that tax cut, the state's income tax revenues plummeted by a quarter-billion dollars - and now Brownback is pushing to use money for public employees' pensions to instead cover the state's ensuing budget shortfalls."
