I have an odd sense of humor, I admit, but when my wife told me about this bill (she works for the Minnesota Senate) I couldn’t stop chuckling.
At first glance, you may not be as amused as I am, but hear me out. The bill in question is SF 3194, and it was heard in the Tax Committee yesterday.
The Minnesota Senate is, of course, controlled by the Democrats, and as Democrats, they are always up for a good tax increase. During the last session, with a state surplus amounting to something around a third of state expenditures, they still managed to spend it all and raise taxes even higher.
If they aren’t raising taxes or spending money, they like to spend their time accusing Republicans of the most dastardly acts, and one of their favorites is accusing us of trying to deny children and college students an education.
The reality is quite different, although…
