The original Soapblox.com adheres to one major principle: A government afraid of its people is far more effective than a people afraid of its government. We are a think-tank for the grass-roots progressive revolution, writing articles and highlighting events that are of great interest to Progressives. We provide our readers with information the major media gate-keepers don't want you to read, that focus strongly on the strategic and tactical battle plan for the New Progressive Movement. We provide the truth and the truth is grim, so we sweeten it up with a touch of brown sugar.

 A Message from Micheal Steele

Micheal Steele

Republican National Committee Chairman Micheal Steele has recently come under fire for wastefully spending GOP donations on a host of expensive and lavish activities. From private jets to expensive hotels, nothing but the best was acceptable for Steele’s army, as he plotted the GOP’s 2010 election comeback. One of his staffers even hosted an RNC outing at a West Hollywood bondage strip club to attract young, up and comers (no pun intended).

Nobody likes paying taxes. It’s about as fun as paying rent (or mortgage), bills and getting a colonoscopy. That being said, these are all the painful things we need to do to stay a float in life and there is little any of us can do about them.

California Republicans thought otherwise. They used an issue that was sure to win: telling California they could have lower taxes and everything would be all right. That’s like promising people they can lose weight and eat all that they want. Sadly people fall for that one too!

Ignoring reality, listening to the advice of hucksters like Ronald Reagan, Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, California passed Proposition 13 in 1978. It cut taxes primarily for apartment building owners among other large …
