So we don't want higher property taxes and we don't want a wealth tax.
So how do people propose we fund schools and other infrastructure? I'm not trying to be facetious, I'm genuinely curious.
They don't think, and 82% of people don't vote. And if they do vote, they're going to the polls without any prior knowledge on what they're voting on. They enter the poll booth to read the proposal description for the first time and decide on the spot. Very few of us are reading guides and researching to read through the bullshit description to make sensible votes. Its a fucking joke and its by design for those in power.
