When the government doesn’t provide you with universal health care, a decent pension, good schools, or accessible and affordable public transportation, why should you want to pay taxes?
Corey Robin takes up the perennial left-wing political problem: Why do the "lesser people" (Alan Simpson) support politicians and parties that harm their interests and undermine their standard of living?
