Seeing the libs pretend to like this speaks to the power the voters have over them.
The only thing most pols value over the power they wield after being elected is being re-elected.

It illustrates the saying politicians don't lead , they follow. Put enough pressure on them and they will eventually realize they either support what their constituents support or lose their jobs.

No way would “libs” support this whole-heartedly.
The core of being a “lib” politician is the control you want to have over people - thus the confusion over higher tax revenues (to spend) and lower tax rates (less control). They’ll always pick the control route.
