Hearings on some of the most impactful revenue bills are in the books for next week in both the House and the Senate.
Corporate lobbyists and the super-rich are trying to SQUASH them to maintain the second-most unfair tax code in the United States here in Washington.
The more new revenue we win this legislative session, the less likely we are to experience furloughs and cuts to our health benefits. In case you missed it, here's our breakdown of what we're up against.
