What about the skiing inequality? Having to ski all the days that I do to make up for those slackers seems unjust. Everyone should ski their fair share.

Lessen income inequality, sure. But this is just smoke and mirrors to appease the working class. It does nothing about wealth inequality!

My guess is that he will be overwhelmingly reelected this November, as will Governor Scott, a Republican.

As for the working class fleeing the state, I'd love to see the numbers to back up that assertion. Oh...everyone is upset about property taxes right now so it's not a "class" issue.

People fleeing is nothing new. I went to Highschool in VT and graduated in 1994. Almost everyone I know who went to college and were career motivated left the state. Very few opportunities. Cost of living to earnings potential is way out of whack for most.
