Why should the people of Minnesotastan complain? They elect Marxist's every election. So, they get what they voted for. Vote for socialism, higher taxes, abortion on demand, and you get it. They are now getting it. I feel absolutely NO sorrow for them. They got what that asked for. So, Minnesota, SHUT THE F UP AND TAKE IT. YOU ASKED FOR IT!!
Though I would agree with your point,
Democrats got elected because they fooled enough
folks about getting US out of Iraq,
not because they ran on their tax increases,
which was predictable for the enlightened,
just more un-enlightened voted.
