Michigan Democrats Are Idiots
Wow, only a Democrat would think this would be a good idea. The state of Michigan is facing a $1 billion dollar budget deficit and Democrats have proposed a tax increase on various items such as junk food, soda, and satellite tv service for....get this.....an Ipod for each child enrolled in school. I guess the idea is for podcasts and data storage or something like that. We all know kids are responsible when it comes to expensive pieces of electronic equipment. :)
And it's rightfully not going over well with state citizens. So, busting your ass, paying taxes and now, you're tax money is going to go towards some kid having a popular music player that will be lost, stolen, damaged, or sold on Ebay. Even if you don't have kids, you'll still be paying for it.
What happened to responsible spending? I don't go out and buy a laptop every 2 weeks because I CAN'T AFFORD IT. Well, I could, but I wouldn't be able to make my mortgage payment or car payment. The latest text books, high speed internet access, higher salaries for teachers, are all needed resources that schools need. Take a look around the Internet and you'll see what kind of sorry shape kids are in these days. That's why I advocate for year round school schedules. The first few months is spent relearning the things that they were taught the last part of the previous year.
