Of that 1.5 billion, how much ends up going toward the election of democrats?

At least 90%, is my “educated guess”…

It’s really starting to bother me that my tax dollars are being used against me.

I am in shock. I found a school district in Kansas with 12 students! Spending per pupil in that district is $97417.00 and the school districts state wide are squealing like pigs over budget cuts.

Hey, how about they stop buying politicians and funding sill protests and work on getting those test scores up.

In five states (Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Oregon and Washington) dues income failed to cover the costs of employee compensation.

Just goes to demonstrate that not all educated people are smart people. Maybe they think they are too important to reduce expenses after revenues fall.

Then they have a heartless union to let such diligent workers go… they need to change unions and get some real representation against these heartless, moneygrubbing fiends.

They hate that.
