Democrats are good for the economy, despite the lies of the GOP. Yet we consistently lose in the polls and sometimes entire elections when we talk about taxes and spending.
I believe strongly in the progressive tax code. I believe it's only fair for you to pay back, in small measure, the country that enabled you to become a millionaire or billionaire.
But that simple idea is being lost in the static. Why?
Because we, as a party, and as an ideology, suck at explaining tax policy and spending.
