At times like this, an old buddy used to say to me, "I never had a poor man offer ME a job". The old saying comes to mind, "given a vote, 51% of the polulation would strip the other 49% of all their rights" (and their money methinks). Isn't it great to live in a Federal Republic run by educated wealthy landowners so this won't happen? </sarc>
These people voted for Hillary. Nuff said.
If a working couple make $150,000 but all of their income is spent on housing, cars, child care, food, college, etc. and they have very little savings, are they rich?
We need Bolshevik Conservatism!! Soak the REAL Rich!! Tax all WEALTH over $10,000,000 at 100%!! THAT would fund all the schools you want.
Let's see if the Hollywood Left and Limosene Liberals agree to REALLY soak the REAL rich! Instead, they want to soak the hard-working upper middle class. They can BITE ME. /rant off
I love how politicians and journalists are defining "rich" as an amount of income, rather than net worth. The reality is that taxes are designed to prevent anyone from ever becoming rich. Keeps us all relying on the Gov'ment for Soc Sec and Medicare.
Exactly.
And these are the same people who pay $400 a month for their rent controlled apartments - the same apartments that would cost $3,000 a month or more on the open market.
The question is;Where is the tax money that should support education going??
To the dem-lib-socialists and the sheeple who hang on their every word, rich means anyone who makes more than they do.
A tax on anyone is a tax on everyone.
Condoms, GLBT Agenda, abortion counseling, the really important stuff! At the school I work at every where I go I see baskets full of muticolored condoms. Oh, yeah, and hugh salaries for those wonderful teachers.
I bet if you took a few of those condoms and made water balloons, finger puppets, or some quasi-art crap you'd get fired for being insensitive to the needs of sexual active kids or having a weapon ( balloon ).
Look at what happened in California....tax revolt, recalled govorner and republican elected(OK, Republican Lite). Go ahead Hillary, raise those taxes.
It seems all we do this days is water the weeds. Generally the poor in this country are the un-educated but we provide free education so generally the poor are the drop outs of america, those the don't care about the rest of us.
You either lead, follow or get out of the way. The poor decided to neither lead or follow and just sat down to let the rest do all the work. There is over 100 years of history on this group doing this in this country - why do you think some states are called Commonwealth?
They failed 100 years ago and people just never learn.
I was in Cabo mexico recently. I was amazed not seeing a single person begging on the streets - everyone works.
Too bad this does not happen in San Fran or NYC.
They're too ignorant to see that the money is the general revenue pool is NOT dedicated to education. Every extra dollar taken IN from new sources is one dollar that will NOT come from the general revenue. There are no guarantees that education spending will even increase (let alone any guarantee that increased spending will do any good).
Pass tuition tax credits! Keep the Catholic schools open which will ease the overcrowding in the public schools.

Tax foundations that don't distribute their funds 100% over X years. Get the wealth back in the system, or tax it.
