With only this and the presidential election results posts yet to do blog posts on in this blog, I might as well get this done since I want to get enough done before I start writing posts on the future elections in 2022. I’m not going to talk much about things as there is only one thing that does not relate to the presidential race worth talking about.
This thing is the Illinois fair tax. It was confusing and had the richest Illinoisan, Governor J. B. Pritzker, on the for side while the second richest Illinoisan was against it. It seemed confusing and the only way that I was going to vote in favor of it was if Pritzker was on the airwaves saying that he would pay more in taxes and want to do this if the law were passed like he was wanting to. But he wouldn’t want people to know that he was behind this tax, even though it was clear to many sources in the end that such a thing was happening.
I was against the so called fair tax because I wasn’t convinced that the side in favor of it was being honest to me or anyone else. They said that it wouldn’t give the state legislature any power that it didn’t already have to raise taxes. But when I read the measure on the ballot, the very thing written said that the vote was to allow the legislature to do an increase and that it did not already have this power on its own. The measure failed and the tax didn’t pass in the end. Still, things may not have ended well as it seems the taxes are going up on everyone and not just the richer people that it might have had the measure passed. It’s hard to know for sure and that could have changed my mind on how to vote.
There are two links of which to share for this post. One is that twitter at least was doing more of certain limits with how campaigns are run. We need to make sure that social media is tracked in a well enough way. Hopefully, there will be Democrats who can learn how to best make use of social media to help their campaigns the way that Trump used to.
The other one worth mentioning is something that I’m pretty sure that I haven’t mentioned yet before. It relates to the now former attorney general of Indiana. You would think that it wouldn’t make sense for an attorney general to be able to practice law without a law license. But he was still able to keep his job for a while despite not being able to practice law for a month. Still, this was a reason that the party insiders were able to oust him at the primary. It is almost a shame that the voters never got to decide his fate. But he’s out of office now and that’s all the matters. This is a good thing.
And that is it for this post. I do think that it would be best for me to finish writing the post that I want to do on this blog for the presidential race last year which will have at least two spin-off posts relating to it in the end. It’s a whole lot to write about potentially so I can only hope that I have enough time to tell you all about it and not forget any important links to it. It should finally be next month’s post in the end. Let’s end this post here.
