We have had two generations of victimhood now. It’s not their fault, they are victims. These people will not take responsibility for their crime. And the few who do view a prison sentence like an eraser. Well I did my time, so it’s like it never happened.

You’ve perfectly described the vision of a progressive utopia. It is increasingly how Democrats want to live!

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades
