“What works well for me at home, I don’t have this, you know, poll-tested…I say, look I don’t know a single small business in Rhode Island that is going to be made or broken by tax rates.

CAJ note: Barry Hinckley, your desperate little state needs you to win in November and so does your country!

We have to wonder when the people in the state will decide they’re tired of being the petri dish for U.S. Socialism.
Update: Maybe there’s hope for the state…from Legal Insurrection where there’s an article that explains this video.
