When Idiots Gain Office
This is a short and sweet one I heard acutal on the Radio tuning into that Bastion of Right-Wing Thinking Rush
Basicly it boils down to this
Montana(I belive I remebr the state correctly might however be Vermont) has a bill/law thing up for vote this election that will pay for 100% of the Heathcare for the residents of the State of Monatana
Total Cost?
19$ Billion Dollers according to them and its to be paid for by rasing Taxes on the rich resorting in an estmated 25-32% Tax rate on these people's incomes plus the national fedural income tax
So a big tax on the rich and free Heath-care so what?
What? Well heres the thing, The National Budget for this state is roughly 16 Billion Dollers....
So they expect to raise 19 Billion dollers of 1% of the popluas
Now I'm still looking for conformation on this but if its true then that means some very fun news for us not living in that state for the next few years...
Still hunting for conformation but franky it would not suprize me and as Rush pointed out, When was the last time anything came in at what it was supposed to cost(IE 19 Billion is very optmisitc)
Anyway hunting for confomration but think about this and discuss

Idiots will never gain political office. An idiot is one who has no interest in polotics, therefore an idiot will never be in office.

And I thought Nassau County's 20% increase in taxes was bad!
