Reeves on class warfare

Journalism professor Richard Reeves

Journalism professor Richard Reeves wrote an Oct. 2 article in the Milford Daily News titled "Class Warfare: Bring it on," discussing the accusations against President Barack Obama as he attempts to raise taxes against the rich. The article highlights how taxes have been changing in the last five decades in favor of the rich.
