  1. It just occured to me, the pure genius of the Republican tax proposal. By slowing down and eliminating the ability of the wealthier cities and counties to have superior schools, infrastructure, amenities, public services and law enforcement, the Republicans hope to counter the trend of succesful, college educated (another group being targeted by the legislature) to move to these succesful counties and cities/towns. If they get their way, the difference between Zionsville, Westfield, Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville and the dying towns of Indiana will be so small that folks won’t bother with moving. They’ll just stay where they are and rot, as opposed to going to the big city and rotting there…
    and if they’re still in their small towns, they’re less likely to turn Democrat…

    1. Those with dreams won’t bother moving within Indiana, they’ll just leave Indiana. Those who disagree haven’t spent much time talking to today’s high schoolers about where they want to live when they’re on their own …
