Dumb-Bell Wins
Timothy Birdnow
Wesley Bell, the lefty Black Lives Matter guy who beat Cori Bush to become my Congressman, has won re-election for Missouri's 1st Congressional district.
I voted for Bell. Why? Because, although there were four Democrats in the race, it was down to Bell or Bush and while Bell stinks on ice he's better than Bush, who is another insane "Democratic Socialist". Bell at least supports Israel and does a few other non crazy things.
And while I'll vote for whoever the Republicans put up it will be fruitless; the primary in my district is the election. No Republican is ever going to win a House seat in this district again.
In other Missouri news a bill to get rid of the state income tax went down in terrible flames, so we are stuck with filling out the damned forms year in and year out. There was a LOT of money advertising against this bill and little for it.
We also passed more spending bills here. In fact, everything I opposed and everything I supported crashed and burned.
It was a bad night for me.

Well, at least you have an accountant to do your taxes, and I imagine (or at least I hope) that whatever he charges you to do them is deductible.

I do and I wouldn't have had to get rid of him if Missouri got rid of the income tax, but it angers me that we have to not only pay out our hard-earned money to the government but they make us do the accounting for them. I cannot imagine how Americans ever accepted that. Every year there is a mad scramble to do those taxes and people put up with it, largely because of withholding, which sees them get a modest refund on what they paid and so the Dimaricans believe they get money from the government and not their own overpayments back.
So we're stuck with the IT for years to come out of a fear that the state legislature would overcharge us with sales taxes.
Oh well.
