It’s a special triple holiday-eve edition of the Podcast, as the panel celebrates Tax Day, Teabagging day and Goldy’s birthday. The panel tries to get to the bottom of what the teabaggers are stewing over...and under. (Goldy is
shocked when he learns the street definition of teabagging.)
Former news anchor Susan Hutchison is running for King County Executive. Has Ms. Hutchison sullied herself through associations with the Discovery Institute's Cascadia Center? Are the anti-science views of a candidate even relevant for the position?
Back to taxes, the panel is split over the efficacy of a state income tax on the wealthy. Is the projected budget shortfall an opportunity for legislators to seize the moment for progressive tax reform, or does the electorate need more time for reflection and deliberation?
Goldy was joined by
Seattlepi.com’s Joel Connelly, Executive Director of the
Northwest Progressive Institute Andrew Villeneuve,
Effin’ Unsound’s &
Horsesass’s Carl Ballard, and Seattle Drinking Liberally co-organizer Chris.
The show is 43:10, and is
available here as an MP3.
