Your editorial “The Corleone Option for SALT Republicans” (May 15) suggests my efforts to achieve a higher deduction for state and local taxes would amount to a giveaway to the wealthy.

The “sky is falling” scare campaign that alleges any responsible reduction to… Read more »
On Jan. 20, 2025, the United States will start a new chapter in more ways than one. While the nation will be focused on President Trump's inauguration as our 47th President, the U.S. financial sector will be celebrating the resignation of Joe Biden's Securities and Exchange Commission Chair, Gary Gensler.
