Ginny Burdick: Dumb as Tom Potter?

Yeah, I know, how the hell could anyone be as dumb as Tom Potter...Well Sen. Ginny Burdick, yes, she's a Democrat, is against the people having more of their money.
See, here in Oregon we have a kicker law. From what I understand what this means is if the state takes in it's projected amount in tax monies plus 2% then, we the people, get that surplus back. It's in the State Constitution.

Living in a state run by loony libs and dems though, that sort of thing doesn't mean much. Our..."Governor" Teddy G. wanted to KEEP the kicker money, basically ignoring the law and telling us we had to give of ourselves for a 'rainy day fund' for the state. Never mind all the stupid crap the city and state spend money on already (Tram? Day LaberCamp?), no, we can't expect the government officials to actually give of themselves and maybe take a pay cut or something, no, WE had to give.
Many cried foul, myself included, and the governor actually ran on it and, remember this is a liberal state, WON RE-ELECTION.
Well, the people FINALLY get their way and the state has decided to allow us to have some of OUR money back in the form of kicker checks that will be mailed to us by December 15, 2007. Naturally, not everyone is happy with this.
Ginny Burdick (D-Tigard) is a State Senator who is against the people having their money. Yeah, and it should come as no suprise she was part of the group who wanted to ban smoking in all indoor workplaces including bars and taverns. Yeah, we can't be allowed to LIVE OUR OWN LIVES and KEEP OUR OWN MONEY because fools like Burdick see to think we are total boobs!
"People have the right to work without putting themselves in jeopardy," is what Sen. Brad Avakian, D-Portland said of the smoking ban...obviously we are FORCING people to work in smokey bars and they have no choice but to work there...right.
So, the people are getting their money back, which is ALWAYS a good thing and dumbasses like Ginny Burdick are all pissed about it.

Look at it this way: Any time a politician gets pissed that the people are getting their own money back means America is having a good day. Don't let them fool you into thinking "we can't afford to allow this kicker or tax cut" because all that means is they don't want to take less moeny than they were expecting to.
The best people to have a hold of the purse strings in this country is We The People. WE understand what it's like to have to like paycheck to paycheck and we understand the importance of making a dollar stretch.
Politicians, well, you really want someone like Ted Kennedy telling you how to spend your money? Why would you take financial advice from someone who DROVE OFF A BRIDGE? And why would you think a person whose own husband cheated on her, LIED TO HER FACE and LIED UNDER OATH would be a better person to manage your money? Hell, Hillary can't even handle her damn husband!

anyway, the long and short of it is WE GET OUR MONEY BACK and any politican who doesn't like it, well, in the 90's there was a saying:
"WE GOT 2 WORDS FOR YA!"
