No wonder our young people are just so damned stupid after graduating high school.  

The dumbest ones must have been your students if this is your interpretation and understanding of that statute.  My only reponse to you is to tell you to quit watching Joy Reid or Al Sharpton over at MSNBC.  They will simply make you dumber than you obviously are.  

P.S.  Did you get your misinterpretation of the statute there from George Conway or some other idiot suffering from TDS?


That IS the law you dumbass.

The bill has significant flaws, for example the brackets not being indexed for inflation.   Mostly I think it will likely discourage high earning young professionals, entrepreneurs and corporations from moving to Colorado.   Democrat governor Jared Pollis was opposed to this amendment, and I agreed with him for all sorts of reasons. Hopefully it does not damage our economy too badly.

P.S.  no one has called the Killin race in ElPaso county or Amendment 87 officially.  The Colorado Secretary of States shows all counties have completed their Election Day counts, which should be most everything, since we are entirely mail-out, drop-off voting.  No late ballots except military, I think.   Still the NYT says that only 75% of the vote is in, so take my conclusions with a grain of salt please,
