Massachusetts legislators suddenly found the ability to move quickly. Not to lower your taxes. Not to fix housing. To weaken an audit 72% of voters approved. Funny how that works.

Juneteenth is great because it’s a day we can all take a moment and remember that republicans marched in and forced democrats to stop enslaving people 🫶🏼
This lady is ELATED that every working person in MA just lost the chance to vote on cutting the tax. This includes poor working people, middle class folks, single parents, people working multiple jobs, EVERYBODY. But she cheers, so she can vote to take your money and give it away
In 2013, Obama was confronted by immigration activists demanding he halt deportations. He refused. He said he was bound by the law.
Today he's encouraging Americans to protest the law and obstruct ICE for enforcing the same statutes he did. The man is such a hypocrite.
The mindboggling arrogance of this bitter, egomaniacal narcissist to disparage great men who had more honor, wit, and genius than this steaming turd could ever dream of having.
You have a net worth of $232.7 million.
You can afford to write 77,500 families $3,000 checks.
Why is it always my money and never your money you want to hand out?
There are currently 190,000 children in Chicago living below the poverty level.
For the price of the $900 million Obama library, we could have given each one of these poor children in Chicago $4,736.
Am I doing this right?
How convenient that the AG just happened to fuck up the ballot summary that would have allowed voters to vote to cut taxes - where the governor was against the cut, and then the court that decided the issue has the governor's ex girlfriend on it. No corruption here!
Let’s review “Democracy” in Massachusetts.
72% of the population voted for the legislative audit. It was ignored for 1.5 years and then killed by the legislators, the target of the audit.
66% of voters polled approved of reducing the state income tax from 5% to 4%. It was killed by a team effort of AG Campbell and the Supreme Court which happens to have one of Gov. Healey’s ex-girlfriends on it, who she appointed.
Your legislators get free office space rent in government buildings even though it’s against campaign finance and ethics laws and rules. They also get $22-$29k in office and travel stipends. Non-incumbents must pay for their office space.
MA voters approved a constitutional change that forced legislative pay rises to be tied to inflation. Years later they gave themselves a $20k “leadership pay” for each committee they chair. Some chaired multiple committees and got $40k a year raises. Peasants don’t get to decide what royalty does with the treasury.
Massachusetts is the only state where your governor and legislators are exempt from public information requests.
Ironically, we’ve held three no Kings protests against Trump and Gov. Healey has a 58% approval rating.
They literally vote for the same people to continue to destroy this city and state over and over, then blame Donald Trump and republicans for everything.
Doesn’t Booker and his Washington ilk make the tax law??
Too many of their donors benefit from tax “loopholes” (laws) for them to ever change them. But every election season they scream about taxing the wealthy and giving breaks to the middle and lower class.
More bullshit showmanship for votes.
