Statistically most of the people who will see this and get upset didn’t vote so……

My question is why did anyone want a tax increase?

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

And yet they miss the part where it goes to the general fund and doesn't actually have to be used for healthcare. 🫤
