Paying taxes is Patriotic!

In a cheeky hijacking of Republican "Patriotism" rhetoric, AlterNet writer G. Pascal Zachary has suggested:

Democrats must re-frame the issue of taxes as one about investment in the country's future. Paying taxes must also be framed as a variety of patriotism and an important symbolic act in a time of threats to U.S. security.

Now that's what I call clever marketing, since it allows you to label all those tax-cutting Republicans and tax dodging corporations as un-patriotic. For the full scoop read A Progressive's Guide to Populist Economics
