APRIL 15TH IS TAX DAY AND THE MINNESOTA DFL’S BIRTHDAY!
By Michael B. Brodkorb | April 14, 2007
Minnesota Democrats joined forces with the Farmer-Labor Party on April 15, 1944. Hence, the Minnesota Democratic Farmer-Labor Party’s birthday is April 15th – Tax Day.
Back in 1994, the DFL didn’t sound too excited about their birthday sharing the same day as Tax Day:
“The 50th anniversary apparently will pass with less fanfare.
Rick Stafford, the DFL chairman, said he wasn’t even sure of the date of the anniversary until recently, and he wasn’t eager to call attention to it. ‘It’s tax day,’ he said. ‘The press probably would like to make a big deal about that.’” Source: Star Tribune, April 15, 1994
E-mail the Minnesota DFL and wish them a happy birthday – I’m sure they won’t appreciate the attention on Tax Day.

It’s actually the 17th this year. But people are familiar with April 15th as tax day.

Michael,
You better take this post down Michael. Because the DFL will want to start taxing birthdays next.

They don’t call him “Feckless Jeff” for nothing!

The MN GOP should make the most of the April 15th formation of the MN DFL. Great irony.
