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.
