Don't tax anyone under 30?!?!
"We want to reverse Iowa's brain drain and make our state a more attractive place for our young people," said Senate Republican Co-President Jeff Lamberti of Ankeny."
I'm sure Lamberti has visions of an Invasion Of The Young Republicans turning Iowa into Free State Project 2. But even a free ride won't change the basic problems: no oceans, no mountains, lousy winters, no big cities, nothing for young people to do, hostility to gays and immigrants, and an entrenched old-and-mean, worst of small town America attitude.
And even with wages atificially subsidized by a tax break, the rapid Wal-Martification of the Iowa economy makes this a lousy place to start a career.
But of course the Republican Party has only one solution to every problem, whether that solution is relevant or not.
What a sad, sad commentary on the state of our state: it's so unattractive for twentysomethings that we need to bribe them into staying.
