A Modest Proposal II: Electric Boogaloo

Rep. Ann Lenczewski, MN-DFL, is proposing a bill to allow Minnesota teachers to deduct classroom expenses, part of an issue known as tax conformity, where state tax laws hew closer to federal tax structure. This MN bill is to match the federal deduction for classroom expenses of up to $250 per teacher. This is such a win, thank you mighty lefties, why I - 

Hmmm. Idea.

LET'S HAVE TEACHERS PAY THEMSELVES AND THEN DEDUCT THE EXPENSES!!!1! EDUCATION IS SAVED!
woot

Pay back the schools what the state, to be polite, 'borrowed' from them during the administration of Lil' Timmy "I Can Haz Veep Mitt, Please, Please, Please" Pawlenty?

Then maybe fully fund them ongoing?

Crazy talk, commies.

I know this is a not a huge thing, on the scale of drones, the Total War On Women, mopping up John McCain's (from being 1300 years old but looking only a day over 856) and Lindsey Graham's (from undressing John McCain with his eyes - "Grey Matter Blend" Bleach buy one pallet second pallet free at Cub Foods, you're welcome) drool on the senate hearing room floor, and the Mitt Romney sex tape (now with fully exposed ankles - see Cub sale above), but for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster could we please act like democrats and quit this walking-on-eggshells-not-even-eye-wash-grade bullshit legislating? Could we please be the damned adults in the room?

  1. I know this is a not a huge thing

    It is- the cumulative effects of bad GOP state policies add up to contribute to a general situation of suckiness. Also, disarming these legislative "bombs" is going to take a long, long time. How long before Wisconsin recovers from Walker's idiocy?

  2. And you're right, of course, but given MN's educational issues, I heard that on the radio, looked it up, and then taped my jaw back up - this is a solution?!?!?
