We should be frustrated and disturbed by questions asked during a recent White House press conference. The issue was whether a deported woman was a threat:

Tax Inequality Rhetoric Turns Prejudice Into Profit
After declaring anti-Muslim rhetoric off limits, perhaps Democrats can finally get back to work doing what they like best: spreading anti-wealth, tax inequality rhetoric.
