Or something.

They apparently have had enough of Gov. Brownback’s stupidity and his “real live experiment” in Republican voodoo economics, and have overridden his veto of a tax bill. The bill was introduced because Brownback has basically driven the state into penury by slashing taxes to the bone. A real live experiment in fucking over everyone you’re supposed to be serving. And yet he and others still insist that it’s working. :rolleyes:

It’s about goddamn time!!! 🆒

Ummmm, I see it as vindication for those of us who didn’t (and still don’t) believe in “trickle down”, reaganomics, “voodoo economics”.
