Given its Halloween, we took the liberty of imagining a few “scary” costumes that best represent Democrats’ scariest policies, including:
- Democrats’ gas tax hikes leaving working families struggling to cover basic living expenses.
- Democrats’ long-term care tax promising to take even more money out of workers’ paychecks, with little to no benefit in return.
- Democrats finally realizing their obsession with passing a state income tax with the passage of a capital gains income tax.
- Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies – like their ban on police pursuits – exasperating rising crime rates.
We want to know, which of our Halloween costume ideas do you find the scariest?
