Phyllis Kahn should decide how our money gets spent

Unfortunately we have to wait a couple of weeks for the House of Representatives to release audio of committee hearings. However, sometimes the best things come to those who wait.

In the Ways and Means Committee on Friday, March 9, 2007; Representative Phyllis Kahn, (DFL) Minneapolis; said what I think sums up the DFL Party. The discussion was on the price of government, which includes fees and other such state related items.

When speaking to the testifier about the fact that the price of government has gone down. Rep. Kahn said the following;

• "I think that (doing the research on the price of government) further shows how meaningless this is, but if it did mean anything, I'm personally offended that my price of government has gone down."

I have attached a link to the Audio if you would like to hear it yourself. The quote takes place around the 6 minute 35 second mark of the tape.

Thank you Representative Kahn for describing what the DFL thinks. You are painting a better picture of the fact that you think the government should take in all of our money and divide it out as you see fit. So much for personal responsibility.
