Francesca Hong, the front-runner in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Wisconsin governor, has made squeezing high earners a central theme of her campaign. Like most socialists, she is in denial about the costs and consequences of her proposals.
To fund “free” child care, state-run grocery stores and more health care subsidies — among other social spending — the 37-year-old state legislator plans to raise state income taxes
a full percentage point
on couples making at least $431,000 and individuals making more than $323,000. She would levy another 1 percent on “millionaires and large corporations,” bringing their top state tax rate to almost 9 percent.

She isn't even going far enough. She should be aiming for a tax on wealth. Don't 80% of the population support that?

yes but you see those people are peasants and their opinions don't matter to the American press. The only people with Valid and Correct opinions in the US are the rich and powerful, and that's why they get to control all the media. They get to tell us peasants how to think!

Don't worry, the DNC standby who suspended his campaign in early July won the nomination by .5%, so we dont have to worry about evil socialist despots giving us all healthcare!

So the Dems are willing to rig the races for conservative candidates as well, it seems.

If they flee, wouldn't the cost of housing go down to something more reasonable?

Well she lost the primary if you believe it. Another one of these massive vote dumps at the end, something about five USB drives and human error. No one has faith in Democrat elections anymore, the establishment always gets what they want.

They said the same with Mamdani and they stayed. They need the workers, they can't leave without having massive losses so they will stay.
