We vote for:

Advisory Question: Advise the Legislature to raise minimum wage to $10 in 2015? Passed with 67% of vote.

Advisory Question: Advise the Legislature to require health insurance plans that cover prescription drugs to include contraception? Passed with 65% of vote.

Advisory Question: Advise the Legislature to increase the tax on incomes over $1 million by 3 percent, with revenue allocated for schools? Passed with 63% of vote.

Amend Constitution to expand certain rights already granted to crime victims in Illinois, and give crime victims the ability to enforce their rights in a court of law? Passed with 78% of vote.

Amend Constitution to prohibit any law that disproportionately affects the rights of citizens to vote based on personal characteristics? Passed with 71% of vote.

yet somehow collectively we cannot see Rauner as another midwest rich guy trying to make a name for himself at the expense of ordinary citizens?

We really are that stupid.
