Watching the City Council meeting where the repealed the head tax was pretty remarkable. It was like watching a hostage video. Every council member (sans Sawant) stood up and said something to the effect of 1) this tax is absolutely necessary to combat the homeless crisis and 2) it must be repealed immediately.
The pretenses of liberal democracy vanish when the interests of the rich and powerful are threatened.
