Uh, that’s big bucks.
Okay, the first and second support the right wingnut really bad public policy industrial complex.
Freedom PAC and American Democracy Alliance? Yeah, we’ve heard of them before. They’re not fans of the earnings tax in Kansas City.

Oh, they just started up today. With a $135,000.00 contribution. Fancy that. They’re opponents of Rex Sinquefield’s initiatives to implement regressive taxes, shifting the state’s tax burden to the poor and middle class. Still, $135,000.00 doesn’t compare with the possibility of millions from the sugar daddy of right wingnuttia.
