Is there anything more American than loathing paying taxes? I believe our great nation was founded on a cry of “taxation without representation is tyranny,” followed by the ruining of vast amounts of perfectly good tea that were likely gathered by Indian peasants working under inhumane conditions in the Far East. These American freedom fighters who disposed of said tea, dressed themselves as Native Americans to carry out this act of rebellion. I believe that was the first incident of brown face on these shores.
Things only got worse from there.
So when the topic of CalCare or Medicare for All comes up, many politicians who know that it is the right thing for our state get quite coy about stating aloud that CalCare or Medicare for All will raise taxes.
