Alabama bill would allow tax refunds to fund border wall
Posted 2 hrs ago

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Senate has moved forward a bill that would allow Alabamians to donate part of their state tax refunds to help build a border wall with Mexico.

Senators voted 23-6 Thursday to approve the bill by Republican Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh.

It would allow residents to check a box on their state income tax form and donate to Build The Wall Inc., a nonprofit started by veteran and amputee Brian Kolfage.

Marsh says it is a way for people to show support for President Donald Trump and the wall proposal.

1. You can bet your whole paycheck that NO rich Republicans will be checking that box...

Zero, zilch, zip.
They are expecting the lower and middle-classes to blindly check that box and pay for their traitor-in-charge.

2. Remind me which part of Mexico Alabama borders on?

[Paka]

13. Good one!

[BumRushDaShow]

14. Maybe they think that this

large body of water with "Mexico" in the name -



is actually a "land" border? 'Cause maybe someone can "walk on water" so they gotta wall it off...?

17. I wouldn't put it past rural Alabamians....

...to want to build a wall around Mobile and lower Baldwin (i.e. south of I-10) Counties. Spanish is heard being widely spoken around these parts.

11. You mean all of those poor repubs

Who have a minimum wage job and are finding out that either the will get less than half of a return than usual, or no refund at all, or owe like so many do this year? I would like to see the idiot snowflakes who check the box only to find out they are going to owe money just because of that. Yeah, I know it would not really work like that but I would not be surprised if it did. Just wait snowflakes, next year it will be mandatory.

12. Hahhaha! Brian Kolfage is a bigtime grifter and con artist

This is hilarious

That guy is most likely going to end up in prison

What a bunch of dumb asses.. the lawmakers can't even spend 30 seconds doing a google search to see that the money will go right down that grifters rabbit hole?

They may as well be donating to the Nigerian son of a Prince email fund!

Go ahead conservatives, check that box, donate your money and the Prince of Nigeria will send you a bag of gold!

Don't worry folks, after sending your money.. keep checking your maibox and I'm sure that bag of gold will be there any day now

[DeminPennswoods]

15. In Alabama's case, it would be a seawall around

Mobile.

[Vinca]

16. So all those people in Alabama are so rich they'll never miss it . . . right???

How nuts is the Alabama Senate???????????????????????

[Aristus]

18. Jesus. An entire state of fools and their money are soon parted...

[DirtEdonE]

19. Maybe all the dumbasses will use their huge middle class trump tax refunds

to help trump build the wall.

LOFL

Where's grover norquist when you need him?

[sarcasmo]

20. Rubes falling for the orange grifter, stupid is as stupid does.

[Miigwech]

21. They can't even support their schools!

[yellowcanine]

22. Fine but Trump can only use money appropriated by Congress to build any walls.

Check out Iran-Contra scandal, rubes. Ronnie Reagan got his tail in a twist trying to go around Congress to fund the Contras.
