🦅 Dr. Democracy Every Interaction

This is so funny. Every few years, conservatives get complete control of a city/state and try their policies, only to end in complete and total disaster In Kansas, Republicans launched one of the biggest state tax cuts ever, their signature and only actual policy (besides terrorizing immigrants and restricting women's reproductive rights). As a result, tax revenues dropped by $700 million in the first year, Kansas growth lagged neighbors, and they made such deep cuts to education that even Republicans admitted they severely screwed up and repealed their policies. This should have put supply-side economics in the dustbin of history but Republicans can't read so they fail to learn from history. In Oklahoma, Republicans cut taxes, resulting in a hole so large -- nearly $900 million -- that 20% of school districts had to go to 4-day weeks to save money. Nothing like screwing children so wealthy Republicans get wealthier! Oklahoma ended with about 1,500 fewer teachers and were forced to assign a mileage cap to Highway Patrol because they couldn't afford gas. Great governance, guys. Republicans later admitted their policies were idiotic and repealed many of their policies, raising taxes. Florida's coming disaster will be extremely entertaining to watch. When Republicans actually try to effect policy (rare -- usually they just demonize minorities), it almost always ends in disaster This is why I will never be lectured to by a Republican about their views on taxes
