Education vs Tax

You didn't like my air comment or associated with being detatched.
What is funny is how that is the biggest rise I can get out of you, one sentence.
I know you got half of Lemoore into Cal Poly all that stuff. You kept it more real than Mike Vick.

Taxes are the only thing in politics that are predictable and that matter to an individual like us. All of the other stuff that matters is not predictable and the predictable stuff doesn't really matter. Politics are designed to be the change agent and that is why we vote, but the sad fact of the matter is that our votes doesn't impact change, it only impacts taxes.

School funding and taxes are sadly in competition when times are tough. When the economy is well the taxes on the GDP is enough to keep education well. When the economy is not well and everyone is fighting for money, education and taxes compete.
During the Pete Wilson era, schools sucked and taxes were low which made life difficult for my family. I am not going to forget that now because my thoughts were fortified during that era. Remember the price of Cal Poly doubled during our time there. Less Taxes then but that didn't do a damn thing for my life.

I hope they get the AMT straightened out, but I won't vote for someone just to get it changed.

In regards to the Big Mike comment. I am a conservative with aspirations to be liberal. Big Mike is that way too. You are like Dolphas in this situation and the opposite. Conservative people want to be like you but they can't. You're too real. My liberalness is a choice and is actually the more difficult selection. I think you are liberal with aspirations to be conservative. My best friend's Dad growing up was a country club guy. He was maximim conservative. He was my critic growing up and helped be not because he uplifted me, but by fortying my thoughts and priciples because I had to battle him on them. It would be easy to be that way, but I choose not. I view the world from a conservative point of view. The reason why I will be liberal is because it helps the poor. With black people, we are judged by the behavior of our poor. The way I am treated and viewed is determined by the state of our culture. Me being treated well is more important than money because I don't work for money. I work for experience. When the culmination of my experiences materialize into a position, the money will come. If the black poor are still messing up, then I won't be allowed to be happy(or maybe even successful). Next stop immigration.
