× It's nice to see Goldman Sachs get some headlines for a change. It's been a long time since we've seen the Last Wall Street Firm Left Standing's name plastered on the front page. Amid all the headlines about its alleged fraud is the reminder that John Paulson had been praised for Seeing It Coming; Tim Fernholz warns that these are hard cases to prove; and Felix Salmon thinks Goldman doth protest too much. Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias use a Planet Money graph showing how little the very rich pay in taxes to talk about how much good that has not done us. That's the worst misconception among those who support low taxes: that those low taxes spur the kind of innovation that will make us all richer. It turns out it spurs the kind of innovation that causes huge bubbles that, when popped, lead to government bailouts and massive unemployment. Laura McGann has the scoop on why Pulitizer Prize-winning cartoonist Mark Fiore had his app rejected.

PSA time, y'all: Today's the last chance you have to turn in your census form, before Census workers start knocking on your -- and Glenn Beck's -- door. Yes, yes, we know it's so close to tax day and you're tired of filling out forms, but you'll save taxpayers $60 if you just take the 10 minutes. Cord Jefferson did, and he discovered that the benefits of filling it out include: self-reflection and killer blogs posts. Remainders: Babies; All of those earthquakes are just a coincidence; Tea Party signs get copyedited; What the ash cloud looks like.
