Reminds you of Las Vegas..people who go there are mesmerized by all the neon lights and glitter on the boulevard and glitzy interiors of the casinos. The smart ones realize they are the ones paying for all that, they are just there to have a good time The dumb ones think they are going to get rich.American parents contribute more money to their children's education than any country in the world, and America is one of only countries in the first world where the government spends less money educating the children of the poor, than they do on children of the rich.
That's because our education is mostly locally supported. You have a higher income, live in a city or town where you can afford higher taxes for education, you get what you pay for.
Republicans have created the system which funnels 80% of the nation's income to the countries top 20% of wealthy individuals and corporations, and impoverishes the working and middle class every few years.
No, it's been our system all along. Even every Democrat in this forum and country will send their money to the top several times this week. They will pay their cell phone bill, their internet bill, cable or satellite television bill, buy apps for their phone or computer, stop and McDonalds or Burger King several times a week, buy gasoline.
After all, that's how people and companies get rich: they supply their customers with services or products they want. It has nothing to do with the Republicans.
