    Those who pay taxes should have a voice in our democracy. As a teen, I worked & paid taxes. This week I voted for an amdt that would give young adults the right to vote - it failed by a wide margin. I support policies that encourage work & this could be part of the conversation.

    The Democrat Politician Protection Act would create a 6 to 1 taxpayer-funded match of small dollar donations to congressional campaigns. This means American taxpayers would be on the hook to fund campaigns of politicians that they don't support.
