_Share the View_ -- _Bloomberg View _

A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for April 17,  2012

RAMESH PONNURU says Romney going all out for the women's vote might be a
good strategy, "if the women's vote existed." [Link.]

JEFFREY GOLDBERG writes that the Taliban's coordinated attacks in Kabul and
elsewhere over the weekend put the Obama administration's flailing
nonstrategy in a stark light. If Sunday's attacks were meant to undermine
confidence in NATO and the Afghan military, he says, "mission accomplished."

BETSEY STEVENSON and JUSTIN WOLFERS  write that our tax system is
“equivalent to a collection of individual mandates, like the one in the
Obama health-care law, with penalties for Americans who fail to buy
insurance. … You and your neighbor might have the same income, but if,
unlike your neighbor, you fail to have a mortgage or buy as much health
insurance, then you have to pay higher taxes. [Link.]

THE EDITORS: "Today, someone earning the minimum wage would have to work 749
hours to afford one year of health insurance premiums and 923 hours to
afford a year’s tuition at a public four-year college." An increase is long
overdue. [Link.]
