- The PTT is an online forum for progressives to openly discuss, debate, and analyze progressive issues. Through our conversations we hope to develop intellectual resources for grassroots activism, build a nationwide community of progressive intellectuals, craft strong and effective counter-arguments to right-wing discourse, debate political strategies and re-frame public debates using progressive language.

Raise the taxes
Most members of the GOP/Tea Party argue that we should lower the deficit without raising taxes. They claim, moreover, that more taxes would cripple our economy.

And citing higher tax rates under both Eisenhower and Reagan, he claims, "It is a complete myth that our economy will collapse if we raise taxes" Do you agree with these points?
