Republicans Have Stimulus Plans, Too

Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle "Pearl Necklace" Bachmann joined in with a bunch of her Republican colleagues to unveil their stimulus package, which mostly involves... reducing the corporate tax rate? Way to get the memo, boys. But the ever-clever Michelle had some news for the nay-sayers: Minnesotans don't need the Democrats' stinkin' tax rebate because they like to work . Sayeth Michelle: "I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We're the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs." That's right, Michelle's damn proud to be from a state where her constituents (likely not the ones who voted for her, but, quibbles) have to work two jobs to make ends meet. That's the American Dream, isn't it? [ Think Progress ]
