I’d cut the guy a little slack. His family is in need of help for his disabled child. Rather than raise taxes, I’d sooner look at cutting other costs, like salaries and pensions (as noted in the article).

Why don't you cut him a check instead? Leave me out of it.

Boo fricking hoo. So am I. I'm not taking any money from my fellow citizens, though. We don't need it and we don't want it. It's stolen money.

Really? I'd rather take a flamethrower to Illinois Government myself.

I generally agree with your sentiment. Cut spending for the welfare buns, outrageous pensions, and many other unnecessary programs. Still, the advocates for special needs kids have no limits on the amounts demanded. They need to show some restraint also.
