LOL, this is the Democrats’ biggest fear - - the government shuts down and nobody notices except the Democrat party “base” of government-addicted bums, deadbeats, and parasites. And the rats want to blame the Republican party party that represents working taxpayers because they won't cave in to coughing up yet more tax dollars for Democrat politicians to use for their vote-buying scheme. Beam me up.

Sorry, RATS, I need my money more than you do.

Hey, that gives me an idea - how about a stste constitutional amendment that say the state cannot collect taxes during any period when the government is shut down due to a lack of budget, and cannot collect them retroactively?
