“Yeah, don’t let the children get hurt.”
A common complaint of the democrats.
How about the senior citizens that get hurt when taxes are raised that they can no longer afford to pay?
Two school budgets were rejected in my township, I am proud to say. And I voted no on both of them. This is the first time I have voted in the school board elections.
It’s about time people woke up in this state.

How about those children that got hurt when the ‘rats raised taxes to the point that mom had to go to work?

This sounds a lot like various cities/counties when cutting budgets come around: "we must cut fire, police, 911 and emergency services if we're to balance the budget," never, "let's cut excess staff, perks and junkets for elected and staff."

Does this sound a lot like your kids when you inform them that you have to cut expenses to make sound decisions with a recent pay cut, "we can't cut cable, dinners out, personal cell phones for the kiddies," not to mention making them pay their own car ins. if they're going to drive.

Oh no, our elected class are always willing to threaten us with a loss of emergency services should we need to tighten our collective belt but never willing to give up their personal cell phones, credit cards and trips to exotic locales during winter as it's "necessary to function" rather than going to a local convention center to hold "fact-finding seminars."

Time to tell those living on our dollars, that they can just get by with less -- and NOT give up the essentials or we can find others who will do it for them!
