they're already whining it's "our money, proves we're overtaxed, and it should be returned".

Odds are it's mostly from sales tax which would prove people are buying "stuff". And, as food and clothes aren't taxed in Minnesota, a lot of the "stuff" being bought may not be necessities. That undermines the 'Cons "bad economy" theory.
