A Few Suggestions

This story appeared in the Minneapolis Star Tribune Today:

To summarize, it explains Kelly Doran's announcement that he is seeking the DFL nomination for Mark Dayton's seat in the U.S. Senate in 2006. He of course makes a comment that we've heard spewed from the mouths of several afluent democrats in recent years.

"It is just plain wrong for a few people like me to get a huge tax break every year, while the politicians in Washington can't live up to their promises to fund special education, No Child Left Behind and other programs,"

If the Kerry's, Edwards', Dayton's, Ciresi's, and now Doran's of the world really don't want to have this money, and think that "tax cuts for the rich" are taking money out of the pockets of the poor, here are a few options for them:

Option A:
Accept their rebates, and then pool the several hundred thousand dollars they would have to build and operate some charitable foundation or center. (i.e. an after school center for inner city kids, a scholarship and tutoring center for single moms, a low cost health carte clinic)

Option B:
Stop sending their taxes to be done by extremely efficient accountants and CPA's who get them every possible deduction and claim in order to maximize their returns. Thus, they wouldn't get as much money back, and they would let the "oh so efficient government" spend it for them.

Either way, it ends their hypocrisy, and lets those who don't have a problem with money (unless its in the governments hands) keep it.
