THE HOME FOR PROGRESSIVE POLITICS
News & Politics
This Week’s Discussion:
The Trump government shutdown approaches the longest ever, its impact on Americans becomes more and more dire, the Senate remains in hiding, and Trump’s and Republicans’ disdain for ordinary Americans becomes even more pronounced. Trump again demonstrates he cares only for himself, with lots of company in the GOP. Trump backs off on Syria, but not his wall even as false equivalencies continue to give Trump and GOP more cover than they deserve. More on discredited GOP policies needing to be laid to rest, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest effort to do so, while making Democrats progressive again regarding taxes. How her tax proposal is misconstrued by the media, citizens, and Republican congresspersons, and a primer on how marginal tax rates work (not just for GOP congressmen) and why progressive taxes are fair, necessary and historically-vetted. Continuing to burst the myth of the economic and moral superiority of the rich.
