1. I'd use the sporting goods taxes AND the license plate receipts

Both of them were "tapped" for other purposes by Governor Good-Hair and his minions.

We need Chris Bell to win the gubernatorial election!

Edited to add: Selling park land? Fuck that! These bastards want to privatize everything.

2. Sell Rick Perry's hair on eBay!

Make Bob Perry match dollar for dollar his donations to the Republiclown party.
Make Strayhorn donate a $1000 per Name.

3. Could we pass a special tax

on Republicans? Say about $10K a head.
