"Minnesota House Tax Chair Represenative Ann Lenczewski reframes the tax issue noting that she does not buy the argument that taxes are evil. Cuts, she says, hurt people... and disproportionally hurt the poor and middle class more."

Wow, well worth watching the whole 15 mins...

1. Wish I could put her in a card and mail her to all the simpleton repugs I know...

...although it wouldn't make much difference. Most of the repugs I know are pretty much unimpressed by "fairness" or what is just. They are more motivated by their self greed.

Hell, my oldest sister is such a penny pinching, embarrassingly frugal bitch. I've seen her leave a ten cent tip on the table because the bill was $1.00 (breakfast in Reno). This woman is a disgrace. I certainly hope there is a heaven and hell...cause this lady is going to get what is coming to her if there is.

I'm impressed with Rep. Ann Lenczewki. How can she and that hag, bachmann, be from the same state? Talk about black and white. Holy shit!

Excellent job she did putting that thug jerk with the non sequiturs in his place.

4. I don't watch long videos often..but she needs to be NATIONAL

she is a great lady and needs to go for a house seat...since now both senators are democrats! (ps I was going to say she was wasted in the local forum...but well YOU got her not me..I got Monica Conyers :puke:)

5. Uh Oh! A politician with more than an ounce of brain activity.

Conservatives are going to hate this lady. This is the reason the right has never had intelligence on their side; because intelligence is not "traditional".

Looks like Minnesotan politicians aren't completely idiotic. yay!

6. I love listening to her

The last line says it all.

Oklahoma: Low taxes, no public transportation, no higher education... What a Republican paradise that must be! Nothing but SUV's and cattle ranches!

But to be fair, does she not count Oklahoma and Oklahoma State as institutions of higher learing? (I'm just asking- I think it's entirely possible that either of those schools could be better described as a football program with a school attached to it)
