Buying votes from public service unions is a classic move for politicians. You can't keep promising the stars and sun, paid for by the poor, just to get elected. That has been the strategy of so many Democrat politicians in this city for so long. They promise the world to get elected, then let the next generation figure out how to pay for it. At some point a leader and the people have to come to a realization that money isn't an intangible thing. Money is earned by effort and it needs to be valued for the effort it takes to generate. Making ridiculous promises just to get votes is shameful

If you want your property taxes increased even more, your sales taxes increased even more, which by the way hurts the poor the most, then run on charging single mothers more to buy food and school supplies. Buying off unions for votes with public money is scandalous and it's shameful how the Democrats in this city have used the tactic rather than winning the vote with good ideas rather than bribery.
