The State of Illinois has been in severe financial trouble for years. Naturally the chorus was “you must raise taxes!” and so that was done. The result was a bigger deficit and downgrading of state bonds. Yet will a single person who claimed that raising taxes was the only valid approach, or even that it was necessary, have second thoughts? Unlikely because raising taxes isn’t about revenue, it’s about leveling.

And I should mention all the calls to make our economy more like Europe as their unemployment rates hit historic and frankly astonishing rates. How can anyone who actually cares about people recommend this kind of policy?
Elites/socialists care about power, not people. They’re only the means and when they get the power, people become expendable cogs in their wheel.
