What if Bernie Sanders stole the "Boston Tea Party" from the GOP Tea Party?
"No taxation without representation."
I) Poor people pay a higher percentage of their possessions as taxes than rich people.
II) Politicians are beholden to rich people.
Combine I and II:
Why should the poor pay taxes for politicians who don't care about them?
Try to imagine Bernie Sanders using the slogan "No taxation without representation." to call for less money in politics and for progressive taxation.
Try to imagine Fox News, the GOP and the Tea Party denouncing Bernie Sanders for using a slogan from the Boston Tea Party. HOW DARE HE CO-OPT HISTORY FOR POLITICAL GAIN?
Try to imagine them denouncing Bernie Sanders for talking about taking on the establishment. THAT'S THEIR SHTICK.
And for frivolously calling for lower taxes for ordinary people. THE GOP HAS A COPYRIGHT ON LOWERING TAXES!
