Read the section about the maximum daily limit of $25 at the ATM which makes it really hard for those on assistance.
Honestly, I didn't think the legislature would really pass this thing. I thought it was just some asshole state representative trying to make points with the base.

But the legislature did pass it and Brownback signed it!

What a piece of shit!

There needs to be a special Hell for Republicans, every single one of them.

You gotta keep the war between the left and right going so they miss out on the freight train rolling over them.

WASHINGTON -- The House of Representatives voted Thursday to give a tax break worth $269 billion to the richest few thousand estates in the country, and add that cost to the federal debt.


The measure benefits only the top .2 percent of the population because the other 99.8 percent of the country doesn't own enough wealth to ever pay the tax. Only estates worth more than $10.9 million for couples and $5.4 million for individuals fall under the tax.

She should stay lost. She exhibits a certain pomposity inconsistent with trashing a great company and getting fired for it.
