This village is full of idiots and thieves...

"There was a time, when I looked at Iowa and thought that would be a tough place to live, as compared to Minnesota. Today, I think Minnesota is a tough place to live as compared to Iowa. Whereas Iowa is a bright red today, Minnesota is a dull blue, with a tinge of baby poop brown blended in." 

Sorry about the tease yesterday. But there is a reason I did it. The best (I mean far and away the best), analogy I have heard about our state surplus is this - going out for diner, paying your bill, and expecting some change back. And then the establishment keeps your change because "they need it more than you do." For those on my side of the aisle who continuously say "taxation is theft", this is Exhibit "A".

Because of reasons which escape me, a result of this past election was losing our "speed bump". We no longer have divided government. Mr. "One Minnesota" is so full of himself, his eyes are brown. There is no "one Minnesota". This state is full of idiots, and they have elected idiots to run the village. Not only idiots, but thieves.

I will lay this out as simply as possible. We live in a high tax state. Not my opinion alone - just read financial mags like Kiplinger or the WSJ. As such, we pay a lot (a ton) of taxes. So much so, we have built up almost a $20B surplus. What does that mean? It means we overpaid. There is change due to us. The bill has been paid, and we need our change. 

But the village idiot(s) who are now in charge (with no speed bumps), think differently. No way, Jose! That money is now theirs! And they can pee it away any way we like! For example, because the village idiot(s) are in bed with Education Minnesota, they will spend quite a bit of it on our broken education system. Rather than fix it, they will (again), pour good money after bad. Plus, they will give tons of our money to corrupt non-profits like Feeding our Future. 

It is not only our money the village idiot(s) are after. They already have a bill ready to go which will outshine the former Roe v Wade. In MN, we will allow abortion on demand up to who knows when! This is beyond shameful. But the village idiot(s) don't give a crap about what the normals think. Right now, the village idiot(s) are calling the shots, and the normals are stuck on the sidelines.

There was a time, when I looked at Iowa and thought that would be a tough place to live, as compared to Minnesota. Today, I think Minnesota is a tough place to live as compared to Iowa. Whereas Iowa is a bright red today, Minnesota is a dull blue, with a tinge of baby poop brown blended in.
