That support will trickle down to the ignorant.

We have a flat tax in Illinois. We just lost the vote to switch to a progressive tax.

You should have seen the ads. There was an impressive mobilization effort against it.

The poorest people around, who would have actually got a nice tax break, had signs in their yards against the progressive tax.

I saw absolutely zero support for it in my downstate district. No ads, no yard signs, no canvassing.
