But every likely scenario will affect them. I don’t see how they can think there isn’t a scenario that won’t affect them personally. A state can’t just carve out a huge hole in its income stream that pays for services without massively impacting the residences either by reduced services, or increases in other revenue generating methods. Is that just lack of imagination on their part?
I would be willing to bet the answer to that question in their minds is “Not my problem, as long as the solution doesn’t affect me”.
And they give it zero thought afterwards.

Yes. Like I said, ZERO thought after “it better not affect me. Stop taxing me…and that’s the end of the conversation for me”.
