These are the breaks

Since the Republicans in Kansas don't understand science it's doubtful they understand much about math either. They're not alone, the people of KC proper have yet to learn that giving away tax breaks like candy on Halloween can result in unwanted consequences. Similarly, homeowners in Kansas are afraid that they might have to pay more if a recent tax break proposal goes through.

A long time ago, Kurtis Blow had a song entitled "These are the breaks" that was dope as hell for early 80's rap. I don't know what Kurtis is doing now but I'm sure it's not too much and I bet he'd be glad to perform a new rendition of his classic for all of the folks in the area who love to give away free money to people in suits. Advice to single moms: pretend you're building something or that you're gonna make a large campaign donation the next time you need help . . . if you look good in a suit, local politicos will fall all over themselves to make sure you're taken care of and well paid.
