Why is it that the Democratic Party faithful storming GOP town halls come up with better talking points for the tax debate than their own leaders?
Raising taxes on the rich – or, better said, making them pay what they paid before George W. Bush – is actually a popular notion according to polls, even among Republicans.
But too many Democrats in Washington fear “class warfare” attacks and are themselves so beholden to big money that they cannot muster the winning words that town hall protesters put together.
Trump is silencing political dissent. We appeal for your support.
Progressive nonprofits are the latest target caught in Trump’s crosshairs. With the aim of eliminating political opposition, Trump and his sycophants are working to curb government funding, constrain private foundations, and even cut tax-exempt status from organizations he dislikes.
We’re concerned, because Truthout is not immune to such bad-faith attacks.
We can only resist Trump’s attacks by cultivating a strong base of support. The right-wing mediasphere is funded comfortably by billionaire owners and venture capitalist philanthropists. At Truthout, we have you.
Truthout has launched a fundraiser to raise $34,000 in the next 5 days. Please take a meaningful action in the fight against authoritarianism: make a one-time or monthly donation to Truthout. If you have the means, please dig deep.
