progressive candidates. Why? Because in spite of being labled 'far left' and other crap by the mainstream corporate-owned talking heads, she and her progressive colleagues actually understand these greedheads are trying to pull of the biggest heist in human history. They get that trickle down doesn't work and want to use our tax dollars for programs that actually help us at the kitchen table.

Because right now I'm paying A LOT of federal tax and not getting a goddamned thing for my money.

Say...taxation without representation...that seems to ring a bell...
