Tax Cuts and Vouchers; Two Ideas that will Never be Allowed to Die.

Revelation!!!?

Two mind numbing truths have emerged from the following article about a recent Republican town hall; voucher schools are for conservatives, and taxes are never ever low enough (if they were, Republicans would have nothing else to do or talk about).
Chippewa: State Sen Terry Moulton has been holding listening sessions throughout the district since he took office 11 months ago. But Monday’s session in Chippewa Falls was his first since a recall attempt was filed against him three weeks ago.
Fewer than 12 people were there, and they lived in the building.
Katherine Hartman, an apartment resident, spoke of an anti-bullying law targeting students that has been introduced in the Assembly. She said it is her hope that it would be expanded to include adults, particularly political bullying she alleged is being conducted by some teachers.

Hartman told of a 7-year-old who came home from school and proclaimed, “I hate Scott Walker.” She also accused some teachers of letting politics get in the way of teaching, and stated many conservative teachers are afraid to speak out for fear of discrimination.
“Forty percent of the state’s budget is kindergarten through grade 12. If this is (indicative) of what’s going on in our school systems, then you boys had better get into the voucher system,” she told the politicians.

The old "conservatives are afraid to speak out" BS (hey, they have Walker to back em up now), and get a liberal free voucher system going.

As far as taxes go, cuts and freezes are never enough...
Augie Boehm of Chippewa Falls said he was under the impression that there was a property tax freeze, yet he said Chippewa Falls School District taxes are rising this year.

“And I’m reading that next year the school taxes are going to go up again,” he said. “If we’re doing the cuts, and I agree with them, why isn’t the school doing its part?“
Too bad taxpayers in his day didn't pull the education rug out from under him.
