At first I was puzzled by Gov. Herbert’s letter requesting more refugees in Utah. My best guess was that it was to save proselytizing costs for the Mormon church by bringing the targets here rather than sending missionaries there.
But when I read the Legislature’s new tax bill, all my questions were answered in a crack of thunder. If you’re going to fund the state on the backs of the poor, the next step is to bring in more poor people — especially ones who don’t know how the tax system works! Big revenue jump right there. The man’s a genius.
