How Much MORE Awesome Can We Get?

Not satisfied with the example set by states like my own Virginia to merely refuse to even slightly raise taxes on it's wealthiest citizen's Idaho, wherever the fuck that is, is thinking about literally keeping food off of poor people's tables:

According to the Idaho Statesman’s Dan Popkey, Idaho legislators have a slew of options on the table for dealing with their 2011 budget shortfall, including raising the state’s “relatively low tobacco and beer and wine taxes.” But one other option that Popkey reports is under contemplation is cutting tax credits that help Idaho’s poorest residents afford food:

One possibility, though no legislators want their name on it yet: Ending the grocery-tax credit, which saves taxpayers $100 million. That would mean conflict because it would hit the poor hardest during hard times.

The credit is intended to refund some of the state’s sales tax to its poorest residents, as, unlike in many other states, the Idaho sales tax is levied on groceries. In an editorial, the Lewison Morning Tribune slammed the notion of cutting grocery credits, writing that “when it’s time to cut taxes, it’s Idaho’s wealthiest who get the breaks. When there’s a tax to be paid, it’s the people on the bottom rungs who get soaked.”

This is what we get when we demand to fuck ourselves over in case we wake up the owner of a Major League Baseball team.

But hey, nobody told these people to be poor. They could've been born rich like everybody else. So fuck 'em.
