First of all, there is NO SUCH THING as extra money!  The senator is exactly correct, I could use the extra 200 bucks, but I would rather have my son's school stay open.  I feel like the whole kicker thing is a republican ploy to make people feel like they are being over taxed anyway.  Get rid of the kicker.  We need a cushion.  The state is cutting money for schools, firefighters, police, food stamps, unemployment, and NPR.
