Rep. Adam Smith (D) shows Dems how to speak about this war plainly and effectively! [View all]

When asked if Democrats should vote for another dime for this war, he said "Absolutely not. They should not." This is a direct quote from him today: Put the goddamn taxes back on the table. You want war, you want a military of this size? The fuckin' pay for it. It makes me angry."

People understand when you speak like that. The insane tax cuts for billionaires need to be repealed to pay for this war instead of taxing the working people of this country. And when you put it like that, people understand.
