High comedy.

I am not sure what Corperate Welfare is but I will find out, if it is what it sounds like it needs to hit the road as well.

I dont know about you but I pay property taxes, and a portion of that is suppossed to go to my schools.

Done right you should be able to pay your school taxes directly to the school district in which you reside. Should they need to go up, that is fine, but at the same time you should pay less Fed tax.

The school board could then be made up of parents instead of proffesional administrators that are more or less put there because they have expereince with getting funding from the FED.

The Parents decide were the money gets spent, it wont get held over their heads like the FED does now.

Thats how it would work, like I said its not that I dont know taxes are needed in todays society, but they spend the money in the wrong places entirely.

The electorial college was fine when you had to tally up votes by hand. But today, its worthless and proven riggable.

And Made in the USA used to mean something. Now what does it mean?

I am not saying we shouldnt have trade with other countries, but yes, if you want to sell your goods in the US, a good portion of those goods should be made here. As it is the mid west has nothing to do, except what?... join the Military? Had the Pharm companies and others been more or less left with no choice but to make it here, those people would have jobs.
