You can’t run a state or govt only for the wealthy not expect it to have an effect. Talk to regular folks about the estate tax and they get crazed. It does not effect them or anyone they know but they still want it removed. I have come to accept that a big chunk of the US is just really bad at math. They really have no clue what effects them or why things really matter.
Republicans are dead set against a higher minimum wage but it is about the only way we are ever going to see a balanced budget again. Or we can cut the military. Again no one will support that.
