“No taxation without representation!” You heard them cheering it at protests in the 60s and 70s – 1760s and 70s that is. You’ve read the slogan on D.C. license plates. Today, you get to shout it out in solidarity with a bunch of voting rights advocates.
Since I walk to work, I rarely get a chance to read the Washington Examiner which I imagine I would if I took the Metro. But I got a chance to see yesterday’s paper, which reported that the D.C. Council took a major step in preventing “payday lenders” from exploiting the desperation of low-income workers. The Council passed a bill restricting payday lenders from charging absurdly high interest rates that often trap consumers in an endless cycle of debt.
