California Protesters Chant “Tax the Rich!” at Empty Chair Town Hall for Darrell Issa: ‘“Do This in Front of His House’

“Where’s my representative?” activism is fast becoming a new trend; most recently, California voters gathered for an empty chair town hall meant for Rep. Darrell Issa, the wealthiest member of Congress… who, unsurprisingly, did not show up. The crowd took matters into their own hands, chanting “Tax the Rich!” in a packed venue, a moment that quickly made its way to Reddit, where users had plenty to say about the lawmaker’s absence, his past controversies, and whether this kind of protest actually makes a difference.
