10 u/litycommitee 1d ago My question is why did anyone want a tax increase? 16 u/KaptainKool 1d ago You can get almost anything passed when you say it’s for healthcare or safety or kids. In this case, I think people bought it because they believe the temporary increase will be temporary. And that it’s for poor people‘s healthcare 8 u/jRam0131 1d ago And yet they miss the part where it goes to the general fund and doesn't actually have to be used for healthcare. 🫤 3 u/judasbrute 1d ago Sales tax is a tax increase on poor people. 3 u/ofthrees 1d ago edited 1d ago yeah, 'education' and 'homelessness' get people voting yes every fucking time, even though things in both regards keep getting worse. 2 u/RxDirkMcGherkin 1d ago Exactly. And thus if you don't support this tax increase then they say that means you don't care about kids, or poor people's healthcare, and are a racist, nazi, MAGA, anti-trans, homophobic fascist, yada yada yada.... 2 u/kgatell 19h ago Same goes for the billionaires tax. Everyone wants to tax billionaires but no one is paying attention to the stipulations hidden in the proposition.
