People are conditioned to be outraged. GOP ads here are largely about transgender people in sports. I got plenty of problems and that ain't one of em. I'll bet most people those ads are targeting would admit the same. Illegal immigration is another one. Not a big concern for most people in Ohio, yet it's a big part of the Republican's campaign ads. The Haitian legal immigrant fear mongering recently was very unusual for here.

Why can't I find the meme? I think it's woman yelling at cat that says something like, maybe we should raise taxes by 1% on people who make over $40,000,000 a year. And then the woman yelling is captioned, people who make 50k a year.

I voted to have my taxes go up to pay for a new elementary school. They replaced a flat occupation tax with an increase in the income tax which would be about an extra $400 a year for me. But it'll come right out of my paycheck instead of being a separate bill I have to remember to pay.

Of course, all the idiots who live near me will probably vote against it and we won't get the school because "TAX BAD."

And we're talking about progressive tax brackets here. ONLY the money over $400k will be taxed higher. As in if you make $405k per year, only the $5k will be taxed higher.
