Republicans in Massachusetts have good ideas sometimes.

A few years back, when a Republican governor lowered the state tax rate, the Democrats howled about how the women and children would be harmed as a result.

So on the state tax form the next year, there was a checkbox to pay the higher tax rate so that the liberals could put their money where their mouths were.

Guess what? Out of about 5 million tax returns, only about 1,200 actually chose to pay at the higher rate - or about .00024% of the total!

The Democrats shut up about the lowered tax rate after that.

You skipped two decimal places. 1,200 is 0.024% of 5 million.
