I am not supposed to solve the problem our bloated, expensive, overmanned, over payed government is supposed to solve the problem. Instead they extort taxes from us and instead of solving the problem they add to it.

Look, we know how to educate children. We did it for years. When I left elementary school I could even as a child see what was happening. There is no reason in the world why a school with a knowledgeable principle and a good staff of teachers can't educate our children well.

Just to illustrate a point. I recently read that colleges were developing programs for kids who were what in my youth were referred to as special ed children.

Why are they wasting money and effort on such a stupid thing. What looney tune in Washington dreamed that up? Why is it that untrained Moms and Dads can home school their children and give them a better education than they get in schools?

At the community college where I used to teach part time, nearly half the kids need remedial courses before they can start regular classes. Yet we spend more per student than any country in the world.

And how the liberals tell us is how difficult the problem is and give excuses for why they cant solve it. And of course stand in the way of any solution, such as a voucher system, that might actually improve the situation.

John I don't object to paying taxes, I object to the government wasting my tax money. I have reached the point where I have one answer to them, no more. If you can't run the government on the taxes they receive they need to be thrown out of office and I think maybe, just maybe, the people may have finally realized that.

And frankly, I don't care if the person representing me believes in the great pumpkin, as long as they can get thejob done.
