Taxation Without Representation

This video lays out the problem:

Republican answer: Lower taxes, shame you for expecting representation

Third Way answer: Lower taxes, pretend representation is really great and scream "Republicans are scary!"

Progressive answer: Everyone pays fair taxes, and everyone gets fair representation by ending legal bribery

The answer is simple, vote for the progressive candidate. Being a member of the Democratic Party should be about promoting our ideals and vision, not about avoiding theirs.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
