Randall---- If you have a "Happy to pay for a Better Minnesota" sign in your front yard, let me ask you a simple question:
Have you sent in a check? What I mean is, have you sent in a check or checks proving that you are truly "happy to pay" for a better Minnesota? I'm not talking about your Minnesota tax filing. I'm talking about a check say every quarter or so (or even one, for that matter) that proves that you are "happy to pay for a better Minnesota." If you haven't, you are a hypocrite and merely someone who puts trendy signs in his yard and lacks any ability to back words with actions. "Happy to Pay for a Better Minnesota" sings are trendy (were trendy), and are Minnesota kitschy-cute, but they're really without substance if those who post them don't send in money showing they're "happy to pay."
