We need to have a populace that believes in what we’re doing in such a way that they are willing to sacrifice not just their time but their treasure to support those measures. When we don’t have folks who have skin in the game, we make different decisions. When a minority of the folks get the benefit or a minority of the folks are bearing the burden, we make different decisions."
