Yes, there still are a few elected Republicans left that actually want smaller government and lower taxes. One is a member of the North Carolina State Senate (which has literally NEVER had a Republican majority, ever), Senator Phil Berger.

He has filed Senate Bill 1980. This bill would have the state give back a small portion of the nearly $2 BILLION surplus that the state collected this year by giving each taxpayer $100 plus $25 for each dependent. Imagine that -- the state giving an overcollection back to the people who paid it.

But this was introduced by a Republican, so the iron fists of the North Carolina Democrat government will ensure it gets assigned to a committee, and the rulers of the state will never permit the bill to see the light of day -- just like any other bill that would take money from the state and give it to people who work for it. You see, the Democrats have already spent the overpayment.
