I don't think DU should promote stuff like this. It's all a game to make people think he is for the common man. BS it is a game, leaked this info... yea sure... and some people will fall for it. I think DU should carefully choose how to word headlines.

Alternate headline might be - Suspicious leak about taxing the rich
