Podcasting Liberally - June 20th, 2006

Nothing says "fun" like a bunch of drunken bloggers sitting around a table discussing tax policy. No, really... nothing does say "fun" like that. In fact, I think we're going to have to invent a whole new word.

Joining me (Goldy) in a wonkishly entertaining and surprisingly passionate discussion of tax restructuring were Mollie, Will, Carl, Sandeep, Lee and newbie Ray. Topics of discussion included Washington state's incredibly regressive tax structure and creative proposals to fix it, plus Eastern Washington secession (the great state of Martha?), Eastern King County secession (wouldn't it be great to have two Democratic counties in the region?), the partisan battle over vote-by-mail, and Congressional Republicans' refusal to prohibit spending on illegal surveillance.

The show is 53:09, and is available here as a 34.2 MB MP3.
